10 Prostatitis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Rectal Pain
The rectum is the area in your large intestine where feces are held before they are passed out of the body. The prostate itself is also located in this region, so it’s natural that you may experience some pain in the rectum and the surrounding area if you’re struggling with prostatitis.
In many cases, doctors may recommend small doses of over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs which can help to soothe this discomfort. Unfortunately, these drugs are known for being harsh on the digestive system and should be used in moderation. It is best to speak with your doctor about the best ways to control your pain.
