Does Dulcolax Help To Treat Partial Blockage In Colon?

Hi Dr. Narasi, I have in the past had a couple lower intestine hernia s repaired and in November 2013 I have Surgery at the Hospital for a Partial Blockage in my Colon and the Doctor cleaned up some of the Scar Tissue around Hernia s. I had a good Bowel Movement on Sat. night Sept. 6. I had a few stools on Sunday then I started feeling some pains around in my abdomen and bloating kind of like before when I had a partial blockage which scares me. If I take 1 or 2 Ducolax Laxatives and I have a partial blockage will that make it worse or will it give me some relief? I am passing some gas and some stool passed Tuesday morning.
