The constipation caused by the Oxybutynin may have uncovered other issues, such as a rectal prolapse among others and follow up with your prescriber will be needed in order to have an exam and possible further tests based on findings.

You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
