I do not know what SpaceOAR is. I had two years of Lupron injections. I am trying to get my libido back. My private area shrank with each of these treatments.

SpaceOar is a substance that is injected between the bowel and the prostate to protect the bowel from radiation. It is left there after treatments and will dissolve on it's own. Absolutely painless, you will feel a little fullness for about an hour or two and then normal. Highly recommended for the protection of the bowel wall.
