What Causes Constipation After Taking Medications For Uterus Infection?
I havent had a bowel movement in 3 days. I haven t eaten much and I am in 4 medications. One for uterus infection, an anti inflammatory, a muscle relaxer, and Hydrocodone. Before the 3 days of no bowel movements, I had loose stool for 4 days (I was only on 2 meds: uterus infection and Hydrocodone).
