General Surgeon,  's  Response
The tablet for helping normal urination and reused size of prostate would not cause rectal pain. You most probably have pain at the tip of the sacral or coccyx bone. The best way to relive your pain is to use a soft cushion, while you sit. Please do not sit on a hard surface. In a period of time your pain should resolve. There are other intervention treatments but this first line of management is effective in large number of patients.
