Difficulty In Passing Stools And Passing Blood After Ventral Hernia Operation. How To Rectify?
Hi there. I had a ventral hernia operation on the 3rd of Dec 2013 and am now having difficulty passing stools it is dark and hard in colour and I am passing bright red blood should I be concerned that I am having complications to.my surgery my recovery has been brilliant apart from this issue Kind regards Sarah
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Following many of the abdominal Surgery, in the postoperative period there is decreased consumption of water and fibre. This leads to constipation, hard stools cause anal ear which could probably explain pain and bleeding. So the things are not directly related to ventral hernia repair. Ensuring good water intake, high fibre diet and laxatives will be helpful. Take Care
Best regards Dr T Shobha
