I had an abdominal sacro colo pexy with a marshall -marchetti done in 2009 I am having a relapse and am hving a terrible time with constipatip. I eat lots of vegetables and fruit to no evail with taking senokot or docusate so I can defacate. I m seeing a urologist who does cystocele and rectocele pelvic floor reconstruction. I m 76 yrs of age and am in fairly good health, how safe is this kind of surgery for ma and is it safe to take Mira Lax?

Hello,
Surgery of pelvic floor reconstruction is safe in expert hands; relapse has many reasons from patient as well as surgery point of view.
Miralax is not advisable, instead of that, a bulk-forming laxative such as Ispaghula husk helps great.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
