Hello,
It may be due to side effects to laxatives or anal irritation. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Anti-parkinsonism drugs may also cause constipation. Give him a high fibre diet with plenty of liquids.
Use Benefiber or Metamucil fibre for bulk formation of stools.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
