It has been two weeks since I had a hysterectomy and I am still not passing gas smoothly, and my bowel movements are dry.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is indeed quite difficult to handle, mainly because the cause is primarily due to nerve damage. Intestinal peristalsis has decreased, and senna leaves and senna suppositories are treatments for constipation, they have no effect on increasing intestinal peristalsis.
