hi,
its a reflex reaction to any injury.
drink plenty of water and fluids.
welcome to healthcaremagic..
its common to have bowel and bladder problem after an acute injury..its a reflex act..do hot fomentation i.e keep a hot cloth over your lower abdomen and walk for some distance before u go to the rest room..take lots of fruits and vegetables..if still symptoms persists take syrup dulcolex 2tsp-0-2tsp..
