Therefore, it is common to have rectal problems, as in a feeling of pressure or discomfort in your rectum and even bleeding in the rectal area. It all depends on the stage of cancer and the severity of your symptoms.

Pressure on the rectum, and even bleeding, might be a symptom of hemorrhoids, which are more common than prostate cancer and should be ruled out first. Thus, if you have only this symptom it is unlikely you have cancer. Talk to your doctor if you have doubts or concerns about what you feel and follow his advice to the letter.
