Hard Stool - My Father Has Issues With Passing Stool. In General

Hard stool

Asked for Male, 32 Years

My father has issues with passing stool. In general the stools are hard. Since past 5 days he was getting no stool. He started taking laxative. Now he is passing stool. But they are still hard. Also it is not fully satisfactory. Moreover he got herpes postule in abdomen since 4 days. He is on antiviral and Pan D medication since then. Is this stool problem a cause of worry?
