We report a case in which rectal obstruction due to prostate cancer was exacerbated due to an ileus after the administration of luteinizing hormone‐releasing hormone analogue. The obstruction led to copious vomiting, dehydration and renal failure which necessitated hemodialysis. Improvement of the patient was noted four weeks after the start of hormonal treatment with a decrease in rectal obstruction concomitant with decreases in testosterone and prostate specific antigen levels.
