Constipation three months after colon surgery may be a normal physiologic response, or it may be caused by a bowel obstruction or other disease.
Colon surgery is a type of surgery to remove part or all of the colon, which is usually used for diseases such as colon obstruction and colon cancer. After colon surgery, the patient’s gastrointestinal function recovers slowly, resulting in a weakening of the function of transporting feces, leading to excessive absorption of water in the feces, and constipation may occur.
Therefore, this kind of constipation may be a normal physiological reaction, and it is recommended that patients should replenish water in time and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables.
If the constipation is more serious, patients should consider whether they are suffering from intestinal obstruction or other diseases, and the symptoms of this disease are mainly abdominal pain, stopping anal discharge, nausea and vomiting, etc. It is recommended that patients should first go to the hospital, complete the examination, and then carry out anti-infection, gastrointestinal decompression, enema and other ways of treatment after a clear diagnosis.
It is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions during the recovery process, and eat a light and easily digestible diet to avoid aggravation of the condition.
