Out of the blue and six months after Radical Prostatectomy, I'm having an uncomfortable/painful episode of constipation that I've not experienced before. Cannot trace it to anything. My surgeon's nurse has recommended over-the-counter laxative. I'm doing that, but a bit concerned. If anyone's had a similar experience, thank you for comments

    Hi,

    I would think in my humble non medical opinion if it’s six months out and you had normal BMs after surgery it’s probably not related to your surgery. I never had the problem after my Prostate removal but it did take me a few days to get back to regular.
