7) Pressure or pain in the rectum
Pain in the rectum can occur due to the spread of prostate cancer to rectal region. Constipation, fecal urgency, fecal incontinence, flatulence, subtotal bowel obstruction, diarrhea, and other bowel abnormalities can arise due to the invasion of the tumor to the rectum. You need to speak to your doctor immediately in order to manage these symptoms properly along with finding their exact cause. Digital rectal examination, ultrasound and PSA screening can help the doctor find out the right etiology of the disease.
