Treatment Decision - Radical Prostatectomy versus Radiation Therapy

I'm an avid cyclist and found bike riding, even three months after radiation, is still somewhat uncomfortable. I bought bicycling underwear AND wear bicycling shorts. This combo has helped tremendously and I can cycle again without discomfort. I've also been sticking to paved biking trails and avoiding dirt trails for now but it's really been good for my spirit to get out on the bike now that fall is here. If you're not biking because of discomfort, look into the underwear it might do the trick for you.

Just as an aside to all bike riders: various companies make seats with NO horn and the part that contacts your butt is much narrower front to back.
It places NO pressure on the perineum and your body is supported by your ‘sit bones’ and glutes. Worked wonders for me! Just be sure you get whatever adapter/coupling is necessary for the post on your particular cycle.
Probably get them on Amazon

Thanks, will certainly do.

I was doing 25 miles on my route and was trying not to irritate the prostate. I will look into the shorts for bicycling.
