Hi team

can anyone tell me if your bowl can be affected in any way with an enlarged prostate?

Reason for asking is because I am more active than normal.

    Hi Mark;  Just my humble opinion but I would say "probably not".  You probably should check with your Doctor.

      At the moment I am already seeing a urologist, but I was curious as out the blue I am making more trips to the bathroom and I would say between 6-8 times a day. I am already taking a diuretic drug already, which I am taking half the maximum daily dose already.

    My experience with prostatitis has been constipation .

    I think the prostste condition sometime is related to the pelvic and the intestine.

      Thxs for your reply Federico 555. I was thinking that as to the locality of the prostate and the obvious test they do, I was thinking of bowl problems that I have been having may be the direct cause of the prostate.

      the othe pudental and canglion nerve block...

      they can help ALOT for 2 to 3 months.
