What To Do For Having Difficulty In Passing Bowel After Operation?
Hi, After my appendicitis operation on monday, I am unable to pass my motion normally even now. Even though I exert a lot of pressure nothing much comes out and I have a burning sensation at the anal passage. For two days I was on IV, then for a day on liquid food and from yesterday on normal food. Please advise.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related constipation due to slow intestinal transit.
It is a very normal condition after an intervention.
The transit time will slowly go in normality.
I recommend drinking liquids and eating bland food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
