How Can Constipation After Removal Of Uterine Polyp Be Treated?
On January 3, I had a uterine polyp removed. The process was successful and the polyp was found to be benign. However, ever since then, I have been struggling with constipation. I also happen to have a hernia just above the naval that is painful at times due to the pressure associated with the constipation. Do you think that the polyp removal and constipation are associated or unrelated? I am using a daily cleanse product (John Gray Mars Venus Cleanse) as well as gummy fiber supplements but I still seem to be struggling with gas and constipation with great regularity. Any advice?

Hello,
Polyp removal and constipation are not related at all. Constipation can happen after surgery and will settle by itself. As of now, you can take laxatives like lactulose for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
