Resolved question:
I recently noticed a bladder issue when I defecated. I could feel and mild discomfort when I began to urinate when defecating. I also felt a pressure in my rectum. The symptoms improved but I became constipated. I cant see the doctor for a few weeks so I attempted a self exam and can feel my prostate. It is easily palpable and is hard and possibly enlarged. I have my psa checked every 6 months and it is normal. I am a 45 yo and other wise ok. I have had no fever or chills. I have not been sexually active in over a year. Any help is appreciated.

Dear sir,
Thank you for your consult at DoctorSpring.com.
Most of the times the urination problems are precipitated or aggravated by constipation. I don't think that you have any prostate issues. You should take laxatives to sort out your constipation and your urinary symptoms shall improve by itself.
Hope this helps, please feel free to discuss further.
Take care
Sincerely
