If you have not passed gas 5 days after colon surgery, there is usually no need for examination if there are no other uncomfortable symptoms. Improvement is recommended through increased activity, hot compresses, and medication if necessary. Depending on the type of surgery, it can take from 2 hours to 1 week for the patient to pass gas, so if there are no uncomfortable symptoms 5 days after surgery, no examination is needed for the time being. Increased activity, warm compresses, and medication are generally recommended to improve discomfort. Colon surgery may affect the gastrointestinal function of the patient to some extent, and the patient mostly shows symptoms such as slowing down of gastrointestinal peristalsis. It is generally recommended that after the incision is stabilized, the patient should get out of bed as soon as possible or apply hot compresses to promote intestinal blood circulation and gastrointestinal peristalsis. If necessary, you can also use lactulose and other drugs to laxative. Specific medication is recommended to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
