Bowel movements: 2 hours is too long to complete defecation. I would see a gastroenterologist who can perform a number of tests to evaluate the motility abnormality. There are a number of medications which impair motility and it is possible that you have a condition that is inherited that causes the lack of motility of your large intestine. Definitely seek consultation from a board certified gastroenterologist.

Anal fissure: There is probably a lot of unconscious with holding on your part because of the hemorrhoids and anal fissure causing pain when you have a bowel movement. I would try to make the stools even softer so that it will be difficult for you to take 2 hours to pass a single BM.

Avoid straining: Why does it take 2 hours for your BM? Taking that long, straining to have a BM will lead to problems like hemorrhoids, fissures, and prolapse (rectum pushing to the outside). You need to drink plenty of water and eat plenty of fiber every day. Take a fiber supplement. Do not spend more than a few minutes in the bathroom. If the Stool does not come out, get up, walk around, be active, don't strain.
