A member asked:
How are sex and constipation not related?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Different systems: This question refers to two different organ systems that are not inter-related. And the question is a little unclear. Sex can on occasion help constipation due to the proximity of the vagina to the rectum. Pressure that is placed on the rectum during intercourse can at times decrease constipation.
