Can i be pooping better after hernia surgery?

Maybe: It depends on whether or not the hernia is causing a problem with your bowel movements. Hernias that contain parts of the colon can cause those types of problems. Hope this helps!

Hernia: Yes, if the hernia you used to have was partially obstructing your intestine.
