A member asked:

What is the cause of small soft stools after open heart surgery.every now and then i hear noise in my stomach its not gurgling souds like heart beats and its loud.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Surgery and bowels: The bowels can change after surgery due to less moving around; changes in diet; and the new medications you are on - noises in the bowels are completely normal as long as you do not have pain and are going to the bathroom more or less regularly.
