Repeated constipation and prostate health
The article explains that benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is the most common prostate problem among men over 50, does not directly cause constipation. However, it can worsen its symptoms, such as frequent urination and urgency, due to pressure on the rectum and the bladder. Additionally, prostate enlargement can lead to difficulty in emptying the bladder and other urinary symptoms. Rarely, metastatic prostate cancer may cause constipation by spreading to the spine, accompanied by additional symptoms such as back pain and numbness. Treatment for constipation involves increasing fiber intake, hydration, and physical activity; in cases where symptoms do not improve, the use of laxatives is advised.
