Hernia surgery recovery: Difficulty with bowel movements after surgery

Hello Harmeet ji,

Thank you for reaching out. From your message, it seems that your father has a urinary catheter (pipe) inserted—usually done when someone is unable to pass urine naturally due to medical reasons.

Why is a Catheter (Pipe) used in the Bathroom Area?

This is commonly done for:

• Prostate enlargement

• Urinary retention or blockage

• Post-surgery care

• Neurological conditions affecting bladder control

It helps drain urine from the bladder when a person cannot do so on their own.

What You Should Watch Out For

Please observe the following:

• Is urine flowing normally through the pipe?

• Any pain, blood, or fever?

• Is the urine bag filling properly?

• Any leakage or blockage?

If any of the above issues arise or the catheter has been in place for several days, a doctor must be consulted.

What You Should Do Now

• Take your father for a follow-up with a urologist (especially if the catheter was inserted recently).

• Maintain proper hygiene to avoid infection.

• Ensure the catheter and bag are changed as per the doctor’s advice.

How HexaHealth Can Help

Hello Tarun ji,

Thank you for reaching out. We hope you’re recovering well after your hernia surgery and are sorry to hear you're facing discomfort.

Post-Surgery Concern: Difficulty in Passing Stool

After hernia surgery, it's quite common to have constipation or hard stools due to:

• After-effects of anaesthesia

• Pain medications

• Reduced physical movement

• Low fiber or water intake

What you can do:

• Drink plenty of warm water

• Eat soft, high-fiber foods like bananas, papaya, dalia, and soups

• Avoid spicy or oily food

• Take a short walk if your doctor allows

• Do not strain while using the toilet

However, since this is after surgery, it's very important to get your surgeon’s advice directly.
