Answer
Hello,
To the question “What should I do after going to the toilet after esophageal surgery? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have not provided your doctor with clear information about the level, quantity, frequency of loose stools, stool condition (mucus or blood), the degree of water and electrolyte disturbances ,...so the doctor can't advise you yet. Therefore, you need to visit your doctor to get tests done so that appropriate treatment can be given.
If you still have questions about liquid defecation after esophagectomy, you can go to a 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!
