I know that's a personal question, but i'm on tasigna and having some constipation from time to time and know i'm having some blood after while i...you know! I already had hemorrhoids before and i think i'm having that again. Anyone with this problem on tasigna? PS: i eat loads of fruits and vegetables.

I doubt if the lack of replies means no one has or has had hemorrhoids but that they probably aren't that big of a problem. You might want to take a stool softener daily or add metamucil or citracel to your diet. Another thing to try is Tuck's wipes; they can be soothing.

Good luck!

My husband doesn't have that problem specifically, but he has crohns along with his cml and constipation has been an issue. He takes Triphala every morning for it. He is on sprycel, and as long as he takes it apart from his pill, it doesn't affect his sprycel. Maybe check it online with tasigna and make sure it's ok

This is not a CML exclusive issue...Exercising should help you.

Yes, I am having hemorrhoids as well, but not constipation. I've been on Tasigna for 9 months. I don't know if there is any relationship. My regular doc told me that too much fiber can contribute to the problem. She perscribed suppositories/cream, but they haven't really helped.
