A member asked:

I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy on august 27. have been recently having bowel issues and haven't had a bowel movement in 5 days(that was a small ). ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unrelated : Four months later it is unlikely that this is related to the hysterectomy unless you have some post-op adhesions which could cause a partial obstruction. That would usually cause some pain too. Try starting with increased fluids and fiber. Many GI doctors recommend Miralax (polyethylene glycol). If this doesn't help, talk to your primary care provider.
