Brief Answer:
Constipation is normal after hysterectomy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.

Constipation is common after hysterectomy.

In my opinion, you should not be worried about it or color of stools.

Continue with dietary advice as given by your doctor.

You can take stool softener if you feel constipated in future.

I wish you good health.
Regards.
