Hello,
It does happen so many times after surgery on your abdomen.
Bowels can be slow to get moving after surgery.
Drink lots of water, and some juices that start with the letter "p" such as prune, pear, pineapple, peach, or papaya, as they also have a laxative effect. Lastly, take short walks around the house or out to the end of your driveway as often as you can tolerate but don't overdo it.
Stool gets rock hard in large
colon when you don't pass motion for several days,because large colon keeps on absorbing water from the residue.
Since it is already more than six days,the best would be to get an
enema.
This shall remove the hard stool.
After the bowel becomes clear after enema,you may take some laxative like
MIRALAX or COLACE for few days.
Nothing to worry.It s quite natural and shall settle soon.
Thanks
