Thanks,
I have not had it. But reading through this thread I was surprised at the number of men who reported increased saddle soreness long after the operation. But, logically, that doesn't make sense to me: the physician removed tissue, so if anything I would think pressure should be relieved...
I am wondering: is it scar tissue causing increased pressure?
If it is, perhaps you surgeon may be able to make adjustment that will minimize the scar tissue in the perennial area. I am think that for most people that would not be a problem so they don't worry about it. But for a cyclist it is... Can't hurt to ask him!
