Answer
Hello!
In your case that you had anal surgery and grade 2 hemorrhoids 2 months ago and are now constipated, the doctor recommends that you see a specialist. During the visit, the doctor will advise you on diet, activity and possibly additional medication to improve the condition. Hemorrhoids are not the cause of your constipation. Good health!
