Can Anal Sex Cause Constipation And How To Treat It?

I had anal sex 6 days ago and have been constiapted ever since - this has never happened before. I have taken laxitives which havent given me very loose bowel movements which i hoped would have helped but it hasnt. I feel like i need to go but everytime i try i feel like im pushing against a brick wall. I have no pain, blood or discomfort apart feeling bloated. Will it get better on its own?

Anal sex causes constipation for the exact same reasons that large stools cause it — the diameter of even a small erect penis is as large or larger than the maximum aperture of the anal canal. And if the penis is large and long, it also damages the rectum, which is quite small. Its advisable to consult a gastroenterologist
