Hi
Constipation can be relieved by high fiber diet,drinking more water,eating fresh green leafy vegetables.
Rectocele should be corrected by surgery.We cannot say that the problem will continue.
Even though there are no side effects,bowel will get accostumed to laxatives.
Get your rectocele opearted and observe.
Wish you good health
Regards
