Question: Is it safe to use a suppository for constipation 5 days after hernia repair surgery?
Brief Answer:
Yes, it is safe.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Yes, it is safe. For sure its much safer than pushing hard on stool. Please try to avoid any physical activity including pushing hard on stool. Otherwise, hernia can recur.
Using suppositories should make stool softer and easier to excrete. So its a good idea to have one instead of forcing stool.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
