Question
Hello doctor,
I just got home from bowel obstruction surgery a few days ago when I showed signs of vomiting, passing mucus. So the doctor asked me to vomit, have mucus stools after bowel obstruction surgery? Is this diarrhea? If yes, how to fix it? Thank you doctor.

Hello friend,
With the question " Vomiting, passing mucus after bowel obstruction surgery? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You after bowel obstruction surgery have signs of vomiting and mucus stools. However, you have not provided the doctor with the type of bowel obstruction and your surgical method, so the doctor can not advise exactly. After surgery for intestinal obstruction, there is still bowel obstruction early after surgery. If you have such symptoms (no symptoms of abdominal pain and fever) it is likely that you have intestinal dysbiosis due to long-term antibiotic use.
You can buy Enterogermina oral supplement with intestinal bacteria and smecta to regenerate the intestinal lining. In case the above symptoms are accompanied by fever, abdominal pain, you should see a specialist in Gastroenterology for specific advice.
If you still have questions about mucus stools after bowel obstruction surgery, 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.
Best regards!
