Patient's question:
I underwent a prostate fluid examination at the hospital two weeks ago. During the examination, the doctor pressed my rectum, which caused severe pain. After that, I experienced symptoms of difficulty in defecation. Now, I feel like I cannot empty my bowels completely, and I have to strain to pass stool, but it still doesn't come out completely. I feel like my rectum is always blocked. I would like to ask, did the doctor use excessive force during the examination, accidentally injuring me? What treatment should I follow now? I am very anxious.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the recurring anal fullness and incomplete defecation sensation after a prostate examination may be due to two possible conditions. First, it could be rectal-anal inflammation triggered by irritation to the anus, which can be managed with medication! Alternatively, it might be residual feces in the rectum that are not fully expelled, which can be addressed with glycerin suppositories or enemas to help the stool pass! Pay attention to a proper diet, consuming more vegetables, fruits, and high-fiber foods, to ensure smooth bowel movements. Promptly cleaning the area after defecation is key! The patient is facing prostate interference.
