Severe Constipation following surgery
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello I have already posted on this website about my ovarian cysts which were removed on Monday 3rd March. It is now day 8 since my surgery and I am suffering from severe constipation which along with the pain of recovering from my op is making me very uncomfortable. I have tried a suppository and Senna tablets during my hospital stay, Resulting in a very small amount of relief on day 5. Since returning home I have tried Senokot tablets and prune juice with no results. I am trying to eat sensibly, and am now desperate for any advice which will result in some real relief. Before leaving the hospital yesterday I was assured that they could hear bowel sounds and that my stomach should settle down, although it is still very distended (I have a large vertical scar).. Any advice would be appreciated thank you.
