Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Had a lap appy done 5 days ago; appendix was in the retrocecal position and the surgery took about 2 1/2 hours. Have been taking stool softeners prophylactically while taking pain medication. Have had several loose bowel movements but am experiencing some pain or discomfort with them. Is this normal?
