In having surgery for testicle torsion and am worried as i have constipation and haven't had a poo for 4 days will this affect it and increase chance of getting sick or aspiration?

To address constipation - 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!

Take any OTC laxative e.g. Miralax and then a stool softner for a few days and if still no result see your MD. Your surgery will not be affected. Good luck
