I just had a tummy tuck 8 days ago. I had already been in the hospital two months ago for the same problem. I was already very constipated. More than a week without going to the bathroom. I reported it to the doctors and nurses. "It will pass..." was the answer for 4 days. In short, for the next 6 days, I was given DUFFALAC and NORMACOL. No results!
On the 11th day, departure, answer of the doctor to my concern of constipation: "see at home and with your doctor"! That evening I called my doctor and explained to him. He answered that he would take care of it. The next morning, a nurse rang my doorbell to give me an enema. One was not enough, I received a second one.
A week later, I went to the hospital for a gastro-endoscopy.
I tell the nurse that I have been suffering from constipation for 5 days and if she could do something. Her answer: "What? 5 days without going to the bathroom? Don't move, I'll be back". Ten minutes later she enters the room with an enema bag filled with a liter of water with a soap product, she explains to me. Sim's" position with the bed sloping (feet higher than the head). She gave me the enema and told me to try to keep it in for at least 20 minutes.
The result was spectacular and effective.
It was the first time that a nurse decided to give me an enema in my situation. BRAVO and THANK YOU to this nurse.
It happened at the hospital in Strasbourg in the gastroenterology department...
