Does benign prostatic hyperplasia cause anal fullness and swelling?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling discomfort in my lower left abdomen and went to a hospital for a thorough check-up. The urine tests showed benign prostatic hyperplasia, and the doctor prescribed Prostectan. Later, I noticed pain and a sense of fullness in my lower abdomen and rectum, so I switched to taking traditional Chinese medicine. After 7 days, my symptoms improved. I'd like to ask if benign prostatic hyperplasia can cause rectal fullness and discomfort?

Doctor's answer:

The prostate is a common and prevalent disease in men. It primarily causes frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. In some cases, it may lead to rectal curvature and swelling. The possibility of hemorrhoids may be related to rectal curvature and swelling. Hemorrhoids often appear in hidden areas and are frequently associated with poor hygiene habits. They typically manifest as burning, pain during bowel movements, and sometimes even skin breakdown. If this issue recurs, many people can take Provo orally as recommended by a doctor.
