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).

According to your sign and symptom you are suffering from some infection and inflammation like constipation.
As you know that best treatment depend on the correct diagnosis and correct diagnosis depend on the complete history of the patient so please take consultation from a doctor and give complete history of the patient so that correct diagnosis will be make and then best treatment will be start
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.
Health Tips
Don't worry you will be well.
please follow good life style as take plenty of fluid and take less spicy fatty fry and sweet food and keep positive attitude to fight any problem of your life.
