It is common to experience some discomfort when passing stool after a tummy tuck procedure. This is because the abdominal muscles and tissues have been tightened and the surgical site may be sensitive. The use of pain medication and stool softeners can help alleviate discomfort and make bowel movements easier.
It is important to follow your surgeon's instructions for post-operative care, including managing pain and maintaining good bowel habits to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. If you experience significant pain or difficulty passing stool after a tummy tuck, it is important to contact your surgeon for further guidance.
