Question for post radiation guys - skin issue

I am approx 8 weeks post radiation. Sbrt+imrt+ adt

I have a weird groin rash resembling jock itch. I have treated it as jock itch with otc meds. I’m fairly sure it isn’t jock itch.

I gained around 12lbs from adt so things might be rubbing more down there. I have read that’s skin sensitivity can happen during / after radiation

Same detergent I’ve always used. Same underwear.

I see the doc next week just curious if this has happened to anyone ? Zinc oxide diaper rash cream helps doesn’t make it go away but it’s messy

Anyone ever experience this post radiation ? I’m leaning more towards it’s from weight gain / more going on down there.

question for radiation/ADT guys

I am approx 30 days post Orgovyx, took it for 5 1/2 months. Freed myself on July 4th.

I finished 3 rounds of SBRT/25 rounds of IMRT at Lombardi cancer center end of May. I feel better, my energy is returning to normal. some slight urgency issues, other than that and 15 extra lbs I am taking off from ADT, I am extremely thankful how treatment went.

Roughly a month after stopping Orgovyx I am getting morning wood almost daily and my interest in sex is returning so I am guessing my T is coming back. Some blood tests and meetings with docs upcoming where I will get actual numbers. My first post radiation PSA was .05 and both my docs were thrilled with this and advised me about PSA bounce, Nadir, testing process for me over the next 2 years

Here is my question. I expected dry orgasms after radition and ADT but I didn't expect nothing to come out. That's from radiation or the ADT or both? As I get further into recovery from Orgovyx should I expect some ejaculate or will it remain zero? Also , my orgasms are not as intense and don't feel as good as they used to. Should I expect some improvement as my body is still healing or is this likely what it's going to be like forever? (Trust me , I am thankful I can still get an erection and have sex....It's just different)

I see some guys talk about how it's more powerful with dry orgasms or feels the same. Most definitely doesn't for me. Still feels good, but way different. Just sit back and enjoy the ride and hope it improves? (doing kegels, in good shape/staying fit) .

Post radiation / post orgovyx orgasm

57 intermediate unfavorable. I had 3 Sbrt sessions + 25 imrt , short term ADT.

I am now 5 weeks post radiation and 4 days post ADT

I have dry orgasms which I expected. I take daily cialis things working fine in the erection department.

My orgasms are weird. Don’t feel as good as before. Maybe it’s psychological because nothing comes out ? With more time off orgovyx + recovery from radiation will the feeling improve ? I know, be thankful for what you have but does it improve from here or no? Like 4/5 months post orgovyx should i expect stronger orgasm ?
