Question
Hello doctor,
I have not had a bowel movement feeling for more than a week. I drink a lot of water, eat less rice and food, but eat a lot of vegetables. A few weeks ago, I was able to defecate a few pellets like rabbit poop. I have pancreatic cancer and am taking painkillers every day. So the doctor told me to ask people who treat pancreatic K less bowel movements, what are the signs of disease? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What is a sign of less bowel disease in people treated with pancreatic cancer? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have less bowel movements, feces like rabbit poop may be a condition of constipation. Constipation is an infrequent or difficult bowel movement that lasts for several weeks or longer.
Constipation has many causes. If constipation is new for a short time and does not improve with diet and water intake, you should see a doctor to find out the cause.
If you still have questions about people treated for pancreatic cancer who rarely defecate, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
