Hello,
To the question “No bowel movements after 1 month of bowel surgery Is excess dangerous? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The appendectomy has been performed for more than 1 month and there are no abnormal developments in the abdomen and the incision means the appendectomy was successful. The apical appendectomy and the abdominal wall incision were healed. Currently, you have not had a bowel movement for 3 days now, which is not a concern, you should follow a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, drink enough water and exercise regularly such as walking, exercising... to improve the problem. stool. If it still doesn't work, see a gastroenterologist for advice.
If you still have questions about not having a bowel movement after 1 month of appendectomy, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
