My husband had a lap/choley over a week ago. He hasnt had a normal bowel movement since. What he is experiencing is very soft mushy small stools that wont come out of his rectum by themselves. When he wipes there appears to be tiny black and white seed like particles in the stool. Please help.
Hi. It is best if you consult with a gastroenterologist or do a follow-up consult with your surgeon for clinical evaluation of your husbands concern. An unremarkable laparoscopic cholecystectomy usually doesn't have that effect. It may also be just secondary to illus, or temporary motility of his bowels as he is still in the recovery period. Also, how was his food intake after the surgery? Anxiety is also another thing to consider, when he is doing his bowel movement. Clinical consult is best. Diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
