Can I use an enema after c section.?
I had a c section on the twenty second. I haven't had a vowel movement since Monday and I've only passed gas once (so that I could eat).. i am desperate for some relief. Is an enema a terrible idea ? It's the last result. I've tried positions.. Prune juice and gas x. For relief.

Enema may be your answer but if you've never done it it could be awkward especially since your recovering from surgery. I'd pick up a bottle of miralax as well. Post surgery constipation is no joke! If you are still taking pain meds of ease off those, as they a constipation culprits. Walking around and drinking plenty of water wouldn't be a bad idea as well.

You need a Glycerin suppository, one up the bum and you should go in 10 minutes.
This is far safer than an enema. Talk to your Pharmacist.

Eat All Bran for breakfast. Prune juice is no good. Whole prunes would be. Eat lots of fresh fruit and fibre and all will be peace and light.
