Hello
Thanks for query .

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

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Was it a open surgery or Laparoscopic surgery ?

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 .
