Hello,'

Thanks for posting your query.

Constipation and mucus discharge can be post surgical complication. If you do not feel bowel movements the you should visit a doctor for physical examination and get ultrasound to see any obstruction. However, it may be minor after effect of surgery. Take more water, and eat soft and light diet.

Hope it helps.

Take Care!
