A member asked:

Did physical postate exam and psa test june 2019 with no problems. 39 now and about only 3 times a year would get postate pain before or after bowl movement. digestive issue perhaps? i use fibre supplement. can stool be to hard? should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Proctalgia fugax: Your symptoms are suggestive of proctalgia fugax, while painful, it does not cause lasting damage. If hard stools are an issue: You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. You may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
