Thanks for query .

You have severe pain in perineal region after undergone surgery of prostate removal.

The severe pain that you have could be either due to infection or due to collection of serous fluid in subcutaneous tissue .

You need to visit your operating surgeon and get Ultrasound Scanning of pelvis done to confirm the same and get it drained .

Taking antibiotic and anti inflammatory drug will help to reduce the pain .
