A member asked:

I got surgery to a tumour on my ovary a week ago an now everytime i eat i automatically have to defecate? is this a normal side effect to the surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dysmotility: Post surgical complications arising from abdominal surgery affecting intestinal motility are common, but the effects should only last a week or two. You should discuss this with your surgeon during your follow up visit.
