Chewing gum can be helpful in promoting postoperative flatulence.
When abdominal surgery such as stomach or intestinal surgery or gynecological pelvic surgery is performed, the intestines may be affected to a certain extent, and it is often necessary to promote the elimination of gas under the supervision of a doctor after the surgery.
Chewing gum will stimulate the brain to think that you are eating as you keep swallowing, and the intestines will start to move to promote food digestion, and at the same time speed up the discharge of intestinal gas and flatulence, which will help to alleviate the symptoms of abdominal bloating.
However, chewing gum to promote the role of exhaust is not very obvious, can only play an auxiliary role, if the phenomenon of intestinal flatulence after surgery is more obvious, you need to follow the doctor’s instructions to use other methods of exhaust, such as you can take the appropriate medication, common drugs have bifidobacterium quadruple live bacterial tablets as well as gastrointestinal elimination tablets and so on.
During the recovery period after the surgery, you should rest more, don’t be tired, and eat a light and easy to digest diet, avoiding cold, spicy and stimulating food. If there is any abnormality during the recovery period, you should go to the regular hospital in time.
