I have been feeling a warm sensation going
from inside my rectum towards my urethra,
as if something was going to discharge but
never does. This has been going on for
several weeks. Last night I got up to
urinate, and flushed the toilet, couldn't
see very well, just a dim light was on,
then later this morning I see a half inch
size of dried blood on the side of the
toilet. It was not there at bedtime and no
else used it besides me. I do have
frequent urination, which I saw a
urologist about a year and a half ago, he
did a cystoscopy which was clear. He had
me try Flomax but the side effects were to
much. Over the past year I have also had
left sided pain which my Doctor did an
abdominal CAT scan with contrast and it
also was clear, but this pain does not go
away, and gets worse when my bladder is
full or need to have a bowel movement,
pain decreases but I feel sore afterwards.
I been to a GI doc and had colonoscopy 2
years ago and polyp removed but eveything
else was clear. Thank you
According to your symptoms (“a sensation
going from inside my rectum towards my
urethra”, frequent urination and blood
in the urine) you might be experiencing an
enlarged prostate complicated with
prostate infection. Prostate cancer is
also a possible option that has to be
checked. Several diagnostic procedures
have to be done: a physical examination,
ultrasound scan, and blood and urine
laboratory analysis can be performed
(standard plus acidic phosphatase and
prostate specific antigen).
You may consult a urologist to follow up.
