A member asked:
Can you strain to have a bowel movement after gall bladder surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...: But best not to. Better to avoid constipation after surgery. Increase your oral liquid intake, decrease your narcotic pain medication usage & use mild laxative or enema from the drug store.
