Post-Bladder Surgery Constipation Challenges

This topic is about dealing with persistent constipation after bladder removal surgery. The person sharing their experience is concerned about their husband's ongoing constipation issues following the surgery, despite trying various remedies. They are seeking advice for effective, long-term solutions to manage this condition.

Here are some suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Consider using Colace (docusate sodium) daily. This over-the-counter stool softener can help maintain regularity when used consistently, rather than just occasionally.

2. If the current medical team isn't providing the relief or guidance needed, it might be helpful to consult a different doctor, such as a gastroenterologist or urologist, who may offer more effective medication management.

3. With approval from a urologist, establishing a routine daily water enema regimen could be a successful way to prevent recurrent impaction.
