Patient's question:
I have prostatitis and haven't had a bowel movement for a week. Does prostatitis affect bowel movements?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, constipation with a week of no bowel movement is generally related to prostatic fluid and constipation. Constipation is also associated with your diet, urination habits, and weak gastrointestinal function. Avoid spicy and irritating foods that can cause stomach upset in daily life. Strictly prohibit alcohol consumption. Maintain a light diet, eat more vegetables, fruits, rough fiber foods, and whole grains. Drink plenty of water. Drinking a cup of honey water in the morning can help moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movement. Develop the habit of defecating at regular times. Currently, you can use suppositories externally or take Ma Ren pills orally to relieve symptoms. Wish you good health.
