Don't worry.: You're likely constipated for some other reason than this. It would also be normal if this contributed to it as you might have had apprehension regarding this procedure, which may result in some bowel irregularity. If it doesn't get better with time and a diet with more fruit and fiber, see your doctor to find out if there is some other cause.
