Suggest Treatment For Prostate Issues, Blood In Stools And Constipation

Hello, I ve had some prostate issue for a couple of years now. I m 59.5 years of age. Recently I ve had some blood in my semen. Some times it looks like fresh blood and other times it looks like old blood. Today I m constipated and after pushing for a while I finally passed some stools. Then I notice I had fresh blood discharged from my penis. I ve been taking cardura for the high blood pressure and for the bleeding. I m also policistic on my kidneys from I guess birth. My kidneys are very large but my numbers are good. I take cozaar for the kidneys. My prostate I think is giving me a trouble. Wondering what should I do. Thanks, Bill

Hello,

The blood in semen seems related to prostatitis through some sort of bacterial infection, usually gram negative E. Coli or others. Constipation may be in concern with
- Diverticular disorder
- Colon dysmotility
- Age related enzyme deficiency
- Gut flora disturbances
- Functional

Following measures will help you:
- High fiber intake
- Control of body weight, serum cholesterol level
- Avoid smoking if consuming
- Bulk forming laxative as Ispaghula husk
- Remain ambulatory with possible aerobic exercises as per the body permits
- Urine, semen culture report for infection management
- Get evaluated for blood sugar
- Serum urea, creatinine and other renal parameters also need evaluated as there is polycystic kidney syndrome

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
