Q: Can a Hernia Cause Constipation/bowel Problems?

I was diagnosed with 2 inguinal hernias recently and it coincided with a change in my bm's - constipation & thin stools. Anyone have any idea if this is something that can happen because of a hernia? I did have some discomfort initially with straining etc. I am a male in my early 30's. Hope the bm change is not some other serious condition. Thanks
