How to Manage Bowel Problems for Men with Prostate Cancer

This guide is for men who have had treatment for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer treatments like surgery or radiation can cause problems with your bowels. Talk to your healthcare team about any bowel problems you have. If you have bowel problems, it may help to keep a journal to write down when and how often you have a bowel movement as well as what you eat. Once your healthcare team knows more about your bowel problems, they can help you manage your symptoms and treat the problem.
