Prostate enlargement, or prostate hyperplasia, generally has no effect on bowel movements. Prostatic hyperplasia, which occurs mostly in middle-aged and elderly men, is a benign disease whose manifestations are usually related to the enlargement of the gland compressing and obstructing the urethra, e.g., the obstruction of the urethra leads to an increase in urethral resistance, which causes symptoms such as progressive dysuria, prolonged voiding, fine and weak urine, incomplete urination, and an increase in nocturia. Prostatic hyperplasia usually has no effect on bowel movements. Instead, bowel movements are usually associated with diet, exercise, and digestive disorders. If constipation occurs, it may be caused by middle-aged and elderly men’s insufficient daily intake of dietary fiber, less exercise, etc. To address this situation, you can increase the intake of dietary fiber and increase physical activity to improve constipation. If you are suffering from prostate hyperplasia, or have symptoms of bowel discomfort, you should go to the hospital in time to get a clear diagnosis and standardized treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
