What Can I Take To Loosen Stools And How To Get Rid Of Scar Due To Hysterectomy?
Well, I remember in 1986 when I had a baby, the first bowel movement was very painful. Can you recommend something to help with that first bowel movement or two? Also, can you recommend a good scar cream I can start using immediately after my radical hysterectomy on December 31? I understand I will have an incision from the naval down. Thank you.

Hello,
The painful motion is not due to hysterectomy.
Possible causes like anal fissure must be ruled out.
As a first line management you can take laxatives like lactulose can be tired. If symptoms persists better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
