A member asked:
Can damage to anal sphincter be mistaken for constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation : I'm wondering what kind of anal sphincter injury you are talking about. It seems unlikely. If you are concerned you may have analysis sphincter damage, I recommend you have an exam by a doctor.
