Hello,
Usually, after surgery, there's will be decreased bowel movements due to anesthesia or low fiber food.
Use syrp Cremaffin plus. Eat high fiber diet and drink plenty of liquids.
Use Movicol powder sachets.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
