Just had a hemorrhoidectomy this past summer followed by complications from the surgery . My issue is constipation and not getting the urge to have a bowel movement and am still having this issue . I can't use stuff like benefits as it bloats me so presently take senekot every other day with softeneners however I have been told by pharmacist that the senekot isn't good to take 

so basically just asking how whAt others do

    Hi

    I take Movicol which is very safe to take everyday, this was recommended by my gastroenterologist.

    Good luck.
