Question
Hello doctor,
3 months ago, I was diagnosed with grade 3 hemorrhoids and I had surgery according to Longo method. After surgery, I often have constipation for no apparent reason. I have to use laxatives regularly and I have signs of hemorrhoids again. So the doctor told me what is the cause of male constipation? How is the treatment? Thank you doctor.

Answered by Master, Doctor Nguyen Ngoc Thang - Department of General Surgery, Vinmec Danang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “What is the cause of male constipation? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Constipation can be caused by causes such as motor dysfunction of the large intestine, due to intestinal dysbiosis, related to surgery or anorectal disease, .. Laxatives only work to treat symptoms, you need to be examined by a specialist (internal or external gastroenterology) for appropriate treatment. In your case, symptoms occur after Longo surgery, you need to see the surgeon again. In some cases after Longo surgery, defecation function is affected because the structure of the anal canal has changed after surgery, which should be examined and consulted for specific treatment.
If you still have questions about male constipation, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
