How to help my dog with painful constipation before neutering?

Question

Hi there my dog seems to be staring to poop and when he does manage it he yelps. I've had him at the vets twice this past week he said he's ok but his prostate is quite large and said to get him neutered but thats not for 3. Weeks! Meanwhile he's still in pain and rarely going to poop at all. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 7 months old
