What can be done for sleeping bowel after surgery?

1. Eat a healthy diet. Eating a healthy diet that is rich in fiber can help to promote regular bowel movements. Fiber helps to bulk up stool and make it easier to pass. Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

2. Drink plenty of fluids. Drinking plenty of fluids can also help to keep stool soft and easy to pass. Water is the best choice, but you can also drink other fluids such as juice, soup, and tea.

3. Exercise regularly. Exercise can help to stimulate the bowels and promote regular bowel movements. Try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.

4. Avoid straining. Straining on the toilet can worsen sleeping bowel and can also lead to hemorrhoids. If you need to have a bowel movement, take your time and don't push too hard.

5. Use stool softeners or laxatives. If you are constipated, you may need to use a stool softener or laxative to help you have a bowel movement. Talk to your doctor about which product is right for you.

6. Avoid certain medications. Some medications can cause constipation as a side effect. If you are taking any medications, talk to your doctor about whether they could be causing constipation.

7. See your doctor. If you have sleeping bowel for more than a few weeks, you should see your doctor. Sleeping bowel can be a sign of a more serious underlying condition, such as an intestinal obstruction.
