What Causes Constipation After Laparoscopic Removal Of Ovaries?
I had my ovaries removed laprocopsy on July 14. today is Sunday July 27th and I still have constipation. I am going ...but thin kind of loose stools. I did take milk of magnesia the other day...it did help, but the last couple of days have been as I just explained. I am wondering how long this will go on. I go for my post-op appointment this coming Wednesday, July 30.

Hello,
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to laparoscopy.
Constipation is totally normal after an intervention.
I recommend using a stool softener such as docusate (Colace).
If you have severe constipation, you may need enemas to produce a bowel movement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
