Again, “everybody is different” shows up in your symptoms. I never had diarrhea from orgovyx and it’s apparently not a very common side effect. Over at the weekly ancan.org Advanced prostate cancer online meetings People are encouraged to switch to Orgovyx. I’ve not heard of anyone having multiple cases of diarrhea And there are dozens of people there that have switched.

I suspect it’s just a combination of the radiation and the Orgovyx. Hopefully this will settle down over the next few months and you’ll get back to normal.

I had some diarrhea during my radiation treatment but it mostly cleared up pretty quickly after the treatment was over. Didn't have any issues before so don't think Orgovyx was the culprit. Still have some minor issues (gas and maybe going more often than before) but nothing debilitating. I had the balloon as my tumor was placed such that gel was not an option.

Thanks. I suspect it's a bit like gynecomastia, which they report as affecting < 10% of patients. I've been concerned about that, too, but I trust my wife's analysis that it's more likely just the result of weight gain since diagnosis. In the meantime, I'll make sure to know where the restrooms are wherever I go, because the urge hits like a freight train. I do echo some others' comments that some side effects seem to worsen over time.
