Patient's question:
Just had a tubal ligation surgery, and it's been two days, but I haven't passed gas yet. I'm told that if I don't pass gas, I won't be able to have a bowel movement. But over the past two days, I've eaten congee and steamed eggs, and also had a little bit of bread. Was it okay to eat these foods before passing gas? Is it normal not to pass gas for two days after surgery?Doctor's answer:
Did you eat dinner after the surgery? I suggest eating soup-based foods, which are less disruptive. Avoid spicy and cold foods. Eat more vegetables, radish, cabbage, and soup-based foods. Pay attention to external hygiene and change underwear frequently. Tubal disease is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During the treatment period, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
