Can prostate issues have an effect on bowels?

This can heal prostate tissue [link to rodhambals.xyz]

yes, it can swell to the point its hard to go poo. Fiber fiber fiber

Honest question for OP. Do you drink coffee?

No, but both problems are most likely cause by a lower spine problem...

The primary elements which affect the bowels are to alter the composition of the waste material so fiber. This is why senior citizens get oatmeal, apple sauce, and prune juice.

Then coffee accelerates smooth muscle contraction. So too much can cause diarhea and restricting it when changing your diet can cause constipation.

Then milk as lactose is digested in the intestines into glucose and galactose. So if you overwhelm the capacity of the intestines to deal with lactose with insufficient lactase (the enzyme to break it down), then you get the squirts.

In unusual circumstances any tumor can block smooth muscle motility in the intestines. You can have various intestinal wall collapsing to restrict movement like a volvulus. You can dialation of the intestinal wall.

If calcium or magnesium is out of balance, you could have intestinal issues, but probaby would heart issues at the same time.

If a patient is under stress they can have bowel issues. Or if they changed medications and many take several (polypharmacy) so they can interact and cause an adverse reaction.

A good patient who is observant should write things down like presence of oil/fat in feces, blood, mucus, color changes, smell, being more gassy than normal.
A distracted doc will dismiss this. A smart old country doc will NEVER dismiss this when doing patient history.

get a massager and use it on your lower back,

you need better ciruclation

*shakes prostate for answers*

Most definitely

ask a doctor. You won't find one here

What’s your symptoms?

YES!
It is the problem that my father has, who is about 70 years old.

Since he was 55 years old, he started with urination problems - the most common being the minimal stream of urine that takes forever to empty the bladder. Then the difficulty of holding urine (leakage "accidents" occur) and more frequent urination - taking a long car trip, for example, is a problem.

About six months ago he suddenly started having severe constipation problems (never before, super regular).

At first they did not detect the prostate problem and recommended more fiber. The problem worsened two weeks later, with the total inability to urinate. A plastic catheter with the urine bag had to be urgently placed, which he still carries while waiting for the operation. Without the catheter he cannot urinate because the duct is blocked by pressure from the prostate.

He had additional problems (almost died) from fluid retention, and was in intensive care with delirium from excess ammonia in the blood. His kidneys suffered damage from the inability to pass urine, a problem that he did not have, and which was caused by the mismanagement of the prostate therapy.

After the corresponding studies, studies have determined that the prostate has a size 10X larger than normal - it is huge and it is not cancer, benign hyperplasia. It is because of that size that it partially blocks the rectum, causing constipation.

The only possible operation is with total opening from the abdomen, the excessive size makes it impossible to do it by laparoscopy.

He is waiting his turn for the operation, which is somewhat delayed due to COVID ...

Hope my comment helped. Consult your doctor and fear not, it is something that can be solved.

yes usually fungal gut infection causes prostate infection

If you aren’t rubbing one out, you can get constipated

OP here - thanks for all the thorough responses
still having issue 5 months later - already saw a doc
should have gone to urologist and skipped GI doc

it is either my back or something like kind person mentioned about her Father

hope it's not too bad - don't feel well lately

my advice - don't wait if your body is talking to you

If u have prostate cancer, doctors will tell ya', it most likely to spread to the colon, liver, and lungs as well to...this being even if they get rid of your prostate cancer.

Can make thin stools

seems to be many having this same issue lately.

prune juice, full cup before bed is a must, then coffee and oatmeal for breakfast. Every day no matter what.

A little love can cure your bowel issues and make you forget it was there.

I had those issues. Then I started taking supplements.

Now I have no problems like that anymore.

And I changed my diet.

I hear you about back issues too.

I have a herniated disc.

I take something for inflammation (Motrin-Turmeric).

I take 7 supplements and feel I'm almost balanced.

I only eat oatmeal for breakfast and coffee.

And then have one meal around 12 or 1pm. And I only drink

tea or water all day. I usually eat turkey or chicken.

Cut out the beef.

I had all those issues and supplements and diet helped me.

Hope something works for you...


God Bless.

Nothing like a good clean monster shit

Beef is a superfood, space it out!

OK, you're way to smart to be here. My wife is a veterinarian and you talk just like her. Only way I could understand you!
