Dry stool after stoma retrieval may be caused by poor diet, sedentary lifestyle and destruction of beneficial intestinal flora. 1. Poor diet: Frequent irregular eating, unbalanced nutritional intake, insufficient intake of crude fiber food, or low water intake may cause dry stools. 2. Sedentary: after the stoma retraction surgery, if the patient is sedentary, the body lacks movement and the intestinal smooth muscle becomes loose. With the passage of time, the peristaltic function of intestines and stomach will be degraded, which will lead to the situation of dry stools. 3. Destruction of beneficial intestinal flora: If patients take antibiotics or other medications after stoma retrieval surgery, it may lead to the destruction of beneficial intestinal flora, resulting in indigestion and dry stools. If the patient has dry stools after stoma retrieval, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and take the appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of the doctor.
