Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about hernia surgery and development of constipation after this. Following the instructions of the Doctors but no relief. Stopped pain medications to improve on.
I would advise you the following:
Get a proper clinical evaluation, examination and investigations like Ultrasonography of the whole abdomen.
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position.
Tests of blood, urine and stool.
To find out the cause of pain in abdomen after hernia surgery.
To consider the causes and get investigated according to the General Surgeon you have consulted with to get an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
I find this answer helpful
