What causes rectal pressure post prostate surgery?
Answered by
Need details...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am really not sure what you mean by rectal pressure. Is it a constant ache or a problem while passing stool. I wish you provide a detailed description of this symptom.
What ever this symptom may be since it started 4 years after the surgery, it's not likely to be related to that procedure. Recurrence of prostate problem may cause rectal issues; but I guess that was also looked at by the surgeon.
I would also consider radiological investigations such as ultrasound scan or a CT in my patients with rectal problem before referring them to a gastroenterologist. You can discuss about the tests with the treating doctor (if its not done yet).
I shall wait for more details to comment further.
Regards
