Postpartum Constipation
Hello Doctors
I'm facing a severe hard stool while passing motion after c section. My doc prescribed Duphalac 15ml at bedtime & 5ml in the morning. It made me increase the number of times I go for motion. But still the stool is very hard and I feel like something is leftover inside every time.
I'm also taking a fiber rich diet & around 10 glasses of water.
But still my problem is getting worse day by day.
Please suggest me how to deal with this problem

Please go to the hospital where you had the Caesarean operation.
As per your description you should need an enema. Even that may fail. Then you will need evacuation of your bowels by fingers (which becomes like a minor operation).

Next Steps
You are taking 10 glass of water and I think that that's not sufficient amount of water .
You should take at least 4 litre water so take 16 glass of water .
You should take Powder - Peglet for constipation if still not improving by 16 glass of water.
