Lower abdominal and rectal fullness sensation are symptoms of prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing pain in the lower abdomen and pelvis, along with a feeling of fullness and discomfort in the rectum. This condition has occasionally recurred, but it usually disappears after a short while. Hello doctor, is the dull lower abdominal pain and rectal fullness sensation a symptom of prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

For recurring symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and anal fullness, it may indicate chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. It could also be related to sexual habits. If you don't follow the treatment for chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, take a look at how you can fully recover from sex. It's important to consider chronic prostatitis, so I suggest you take some time to visit the urology or andrology department at a public hospital to check if it's prostatomegaly. If it's non-bacterial, I recommend taking tamsulosin hydrochloride and prazosin tablets.
In daily life, try to relax, eat less spicy and stimulating food, smoke less, drink less beer, and exercise more. Avoid having sex for too long or too frequently.
