What Is The Suggested Treatment For Constipation & Bloating?
Hi, I ve had to laparoscopic surgeries in the past month, the 1st one was to remove endometriosis from my ovary, vagina and also from my rectal wall (a small punch had to be made) and I had another one just yesterday. My bowels haven t been 100% as in I ve been constipated, passing wind and bloated. I tried Movicol after my first op to get things moving but it caused me the most horrible abdominal pain. I ve been recommended to go on Actilax ASAP but I m worried about getting the same type of almost unbearable pain again. I m currently on Endone which I have heard can block you up. What is your recommendation?

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
YES ENDONE CAN CAUSE YOU CONSTIPATION AND BLOATING
IF YOUR FEARING OF USING ANTI CONSTIPATIVE AGENTS ISUGGEST YOU TO TAKE SYRUP LACTULOSE 20-30 ML AT BED TIME ..THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM HOPEFULLY WITHOUT ANY ABDOMINAL PAIN
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
