Does prostate cancer cause irregular bowels?
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
For past two years since i initially was diagnosed with genital herpes i began to have stomache problems. I would be bloated, constipated then id have diariaha the next few days then constipated. Now i just have diarriaha all the t ime and have bowel movements atleast two times a day. Last month i had bowel movements four times a day. Now that was painful. It looks like i may have some mucous look to my bowels but constant diarriaha makes it hard to look at stool. Anyone have any clue what this could be? I am starting a colonix program thinking this might be parasites. Not sure th ough. Anyone have a clue?

" Mabey this could be irritible bowel syndrome or colitis?
Another thought, mabey it could be H Pylori, which is a bacterial infection that is more common than people think and very easy to contract from food, etc...all of these things you can be tested for.
If you're concerned that you might have prostate cancer,have your PSA checked... "

" well irritable bowel syndrone is not an actual disease its just something people tell you because they dont know whats wrong with u. In other words they dont want to spend the time to figure it out. So i wont stop and convince myself its nothing because i know it is an infection of some sort. "

" I would get a good physical. First of all, get an analysis of your stool. It will show up an parasites. Also if there is any blood in the stool.

This could be nothing or something serious but I would not ignore it. "

" Hmmm could be many things but after more than a few years of the same kind of thing with constant diahreah I finally was tested for H-pylori...and tada that was it. When I told my other dr about it he said well, he never thought to test me for that as the diahreah isn't a common symptom..well I guess it is as the dr who tested me said that was his first tip off. All it took was a simple blood test ten a few weeks of anti-biotics and i have not even had a flare up since and it has been around 8 years now. Good luck "

" well thanks for all the comments you guys. I really hope the doctors take the time to think about all the possibilities that you guys are coming up with. Im going to see a gastroenterologist at the end of july but for now im trying a cleanser called colonix . I havent seen any parasites and been on it for a m onth so i dont think the parasites was a problem. Things are still the same but right now hard to say what upsets my stomache the most cuz the cleanser is fiber so it already makes me diariahha. Well i hope i can figure out what is going on some day. Thanks for alll your support guys.. bye "
