Episode notes

Today, we speak with Peri-pain Pete.

Pete is a 72-year old retired geologist who experienced pain in his perineum following prostate removal. Being a retiree who loves to cycle and is quite active sports wise, the peri-pain did affect his life.

When did the pain start? According to Pete, it was when his catheter came out that he noticed the pain. The pain is exacerbated by standing but is relieved when sitting or lying down. After much research, Pete didn't find any explanation as to the cause.

So... this episode will help us navigate through 'Peri-pain' and see what Pete did to resolve the issue. Then, Dr Jo will discuss a few possible causes of the pain plus a simple anatomy lesson. Melissa will also add information about medications and assessments. And lastly, this might be the first episode where Dr Jo teaches how to ‘subtlety’ do nuts-to-guts.

It's an interesting episode again this week! We hope the golden nut-gets from today's episode will help those experiencing the same pain as Pete had.

Have fun listening!
