Patient's question:
After cesarean surgery, I have had four bowel movements, but haven't had a bowel movement for almost a week. Is that normal? Urination is normal.Doctor's answer:
According to the description, not having a bowel movement for a week is not normal; under normal circumstances, it is recommended to have 1-2 bowel movements per day. It is advised to relax and not be overly anxious. Drink a cup of warm water on an empty stomach every morning and consume an adequate amount of honey at night. Develop the habit of defecating at the same time every day. It is also recommended to use a glycerin enema to see if it helps. Cesarean section is a condition that is difficult to fully heal. Friends who have undergone this procedure should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in overcoming the cesarean section and believe that they will surely recover.
