It's not uncommon. When I had my surgery to repair an umbilical hernia, the pain pills they gave me got me constipated. since I sat on the couch so much, I ate. a lot. soon I was huge and in pain. I could pee, but it hurt still. to become un-constipated, I took six stool softeners, I drank three times the recommended amount of milk of magnesia, but I still didn't poop much. I drank almost a whole bottle of fruit punch, a weird thing I read online, and the MoM started working triple time. I was pooping for days. I lost ten pounds pooping so much. it was great. unfortunately, everytime I drink fruit punch from burger king, I get diarrhea. oh well. a good clean out every once in a while. :)

Ouchie. That must be a bummer (no pun intended)

so sorry about the back end, but have to admit I'm curious about the swollen lady-parts. just sayin
