Good morning everyone
Over the past couple of days my bowel movements have changed from not being able to go hardly at all to having to go several times and having to push almost involuntarily.
It is also affecting my passing of urine meaning it very difficult to go standing up without diarrhea or poo coming out whilst I'm trying to go for a wee then I sit down and have a few bowel moments which is good in one way as I was in terrible tummy pain yesterday not so much today.
I've been told my tumor is pushing up against my prostate maybe the tumor has shifted?
Any suggestions or ideas would be so welcome please

Hello Paddybud
I am sorry to hear that you are having diarrhoea, tummy pain and it is affecting you passing urine.
I would suggest giving your CNS or GP a call and asking them to evaluate the new symptoms. The diarrhoea, tummy pain and its affect on you passing urine need to be checked out if only for some reassurance. They will also be able to give you some medication to help with the diarrhoea.

Good afternoon jane2511
Thank you. Yes I did contact my nurse and my GP. My doctor has suggested a tablet to help with bladder function I'm not surprised I'm suffering as I am as I'm all over the place at the moment and on tablets for pain relief. Neither nurse nor DR has any real concerns other than easing the symptoms.
So much is concerning me at the moment but all in good time I'm sure..
All the ery best to you

Hi PaddyBud. This could be overflow diarrhoea? It can happen when you’re constipated and watery liquid can pass around the stool and then leaks out? Always good to run it past your doctor or CNS though.
Take care
