Constipation & Lower back problem

2026-08-25 05:09:33
23M. I’ve had constipation for over 1 year. Sometimes I feel the stool is there but it doesn’t pass easily, so I have to strain hard. During hard straining, jelly-like semen/prostatic fluid comes out through the penis. I also frequently experience lower-back pain, especially around bowel movements. I’ve already consulted  gastroenterologists  many times ; endoscopy, LFT, CBC etc. were normal. Taking Laxatives, but constipation & discharge during straining persist .

Chronic constipation with excessive straining can sometimes cause a small amount of whitish/jelly-like prostatic or seminal fluid to be expressed from the urethra. This is not necessarily a sign of a serious disease. However, since you have persistent symptoms despite laxatives and associated lower-back/pelvic discomfort, a urologist should evaluate you to rule out prostatitis, pelvic floor dysfunction or other urological causes.
Next Steps
For constipation: increase water and dietary fibre gradually, maintain regular physical activity, avoid prolonged straining, and use laxatives only as advised by your doctor.
Health Tips
Seek prompt medical review if there is blood in urine/semen/stool, fever, painful urination, significant pelvic/testicular pain, urinary difficulty, unexplained weight loss, or worsening back pain
