What should I do if I have constipation after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I am 23 years old this year, and I had a cesarean section 20 days ago. I only go to the bathroom every three or four days, and I also have constipation. Even using glycerin suppositories didn't help. I developed hemorrhoids during pregnancy, and today, constipation has triggered them again, making it even harder to use the bathroom. Today, glycerin suppositories didn't work either; I had to manually remove it, which was very painful. Hello, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Your situation, I suggest you should first participate in more exercise, such as walking after getting out of bed, and I recommend eating more bananas and drinking more water for better treatment effects. I wish you good health soon. Patients face the dangers of Cesarean section directly, and we should actively adopt rescue measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the Cesarean section does not heal after long-term treatment, a new treatment plan should be adopted in a timely manner. Maintain a positive mindset. Avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
