How Should Stomach Bloating After Bladder Repair Be Treated?

My mother is 70 years old. She had surgery on her bladder to repair it (prolapse). Since then, her stomach seems to have gotten bigger. She eats a good diet and drink lots of water. She walks though not every day. What can she do naturally to get her stomach down?

Hello,

The stomach upset after surgery usually indicate various possible issues as
- the side effect of antibiotics
- constipation provoked by bedridden condition
- dietary factors
- exacerbation of underlying GERD issues or else

Here are some useful tips for the betterment of her condition until you approach her surgeon

- allow more liquids in sessions
- a bland, vegan diet
- manage regular, smooth bowel movements, if needed use Ispaghula husk for the same
- proton pump inhibitor as omeprazole or pantoprazole after discussing any drug interaction with her consultant
- keep her ambulatory

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
