🚽 Does It Hurt to Poop After a Tummy Tuck?
Let’s talk about something very real that most people wonder but rarely ask: Is it painful to have a bowel movement after a tummy tuck? 😬
The short answer is: It can be uncomfortable — and that’s totally normal.
💡 Why Does It Hurt?
After a tummy tuck, your abdominal muscles are tightened and your core is healing. This can make pushing during a bowel movement feel sore or even painful. Add in pain medications, which can slow down your digestion, and things can get... sluggish. 💊➡️🐢
🩺 How to Ease the Discomfort:
Here’s what we recommend to make things smoother (literally and figuratively):
✔️ Take stool softeners – as advised by your surgeon
✔️ Drink plenty of water – stay hydrated 💧
✔️ Eat fiber-rich foods – think fruits, veggies, and whole grains 🍎🥦
✔️ Walk daily – light movement stimulates digestion 🚶♀️
✔️ Avoid straining – no forcing it!
📞 When to Call Your Surgeon
If you're experiencing severe pain, bloating, or haven't had a bowel movement within a few days post-op, it’s important to get in touch with your surgeon. Don't wait — it’s better to be safe and stay comfortable. 🧑⚕️📲
