I have noticed that I now have chronic constipation after my primary outbreak. Scientists have found a link to it. Has anyone else had this issue? Treatments?

Hey peeps with HSV-2, have noticed since getting it that your bowel movements have changed? I had regular movements every day with 1 or 2 pieces but since this infection I now have constipation and only little niblets that come out. I also notice that I seem to have difficultly holding in gas, it just passes and there’s nothing I can do about it. Never had that issue before this. These are small issues compared to the rest of course. My entire body has changed from this. I have never had a suicidal thought in my life but this has put me over the edge and thinking about it every day.
