Patient's question:
Can the prostate be distinctly felt in the rectum? With the index and middle fingers inserted into the anus, there is a round, fingertip-sized hard lump below the rectal wall—is this the prostate? Additionally, with benign prostatic hyperplasia and enlargement, it can be clearly felt in the rectum, accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, incomplete emptying, and the urge to urinate after urination for about 20 years. However, it hasn't caused significant interference, so it was not a concern. Due to a hemorrhoid surgery, there is a hard, round, protruding lump in the upper posterior part of the anus, near the urethra.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, under normal circumstances, the prostate cannot be felt, or it is soft when it can be felt. For this condition, a doctor's physical examination is needed to make a diagnosis. If it is confirmed that the prostate is hard, surgery may be required for treatment. In addition to timely treatment for the prostate, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease. Only in this way can the patient's immunity and the belief in fighting the disease be improved. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to dietary care and monitor changes in symptoms.
