Hi,I am Dr. Aniruddha Malpani (Infertility Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Doctor, I had an IVF treatment 3 months ago, unsuccessful, there was no ET. Since then I have had constipation which is not usual for me. Would it be connected in any way? I feel that my bowels just do not have enought peristaltic. Is it possible to injure a nerv that is responsible to normal peristaltics during the procedure? Thank you in advance. Maria

Hi Thanks for your query. Based on your query and presenting complaints, my opinion is 1. Constipation and if procedure are not related. 2. There is a very low chance of nerve being injured during ivf. 3. It is most probably functional. Take diet rich in fibre and lots of fruits and vegetables so that stool bulk increases and bowel movement is easier. 4. For time being you can take laxatives. 5. Besides that, maintain a healthy lifestyle like exercises, morning walks. Hope this helps Regards
