A member asked:

Could a large bowel movement had inflamed my prostate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Some individuals with signficant, chronic constipation can also have bothersome, dysfunctional lower urinary tract symptoms. However, having a large bowel movement would not lead to prostatitis.

A member asked:

I've had some doctors on HEALTHTAP say that small drops of mucus like fluid coming from the urethra after bowel movement are just prostatic fluid. Can it also be discharged before a bowel movement, such as holding stool in because of no nearby toilet?
