Constipation after cholecystectomy may be related to postoperative bed rest and diet, intestinal flora imbalance, intestinal-related diseases, and parenteral-related diseases.
1. Postoperative bed rest and diet: If there is frequent sedentary, bed rest, too little dietary fiber and poor bowel habits in the recent past, it may lead to reduced intestinal peristalsis and constipation.
2. Intestinal flora imbalance: a large number of antibiotics and other drugs may be used after the operation, although it may clear away the pathogenic bacteria, but it also affects the normal intestinal flora, resulting in intestinal flora disorders and constipation.
3. Intestinal-related diseases: If the constipation is short-lived and can be recovered through changes in habits, there is no need to worry too much. However, if constipation persists, you should consult a doctor in time and actively do colonoscopy to exclude other abnormal diseases. Such as inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal tumors and so on.
4. Extra-intestinal related diseases: such as the presence of thyroid function abnormalities, diabetes, endometriosis and other diseases, may also lead to the occurrence of constipation, under the guidance of the doctor to actively look for the cause of the disease.
Finally, it is recommended that patients with constipation after cholecystectomy should pay attention to a light diet, eat more high-fiber foods, and avoid eating too much spicy and stimulating as well as greasy food, which will help to relieve the symptoms of constipation.
