How do I take a dump without rupturing a wound?!


Question: How do I take a dump without rupturing a wound!?
I had reconstructive surgery on my ear the other day!. So they used some skin on my groin area(waist hip line)!. Anyway I haven't pooped since Tuesday night and I'm afraid to go because I push really hard to get things out!. I'm afraid if I go I'll rupture the skin graft wound or my ear!.

Help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Well since it's already been a while since you've had a bowel motion anyway, it is going to be harder to move out and along without some straining!.

You can obtain some stool softener, Sienna is the best, at any supermarket or chemist!.

You will not rupture your skin graft site or your ear wound, unless your are planing on straining VERY hard!.

By 5 days the sites are well and truly beginning, if not almost, healed!.

the longer you put off having a poop, the more it will hurt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know if anyone ever told you, but you shouldn't have to push when you poop!. At least not really hard!. It should just come out on its own pretty much, lol!. Try drinking some grape juice!. It's a natural laxative!. You know, like raisins are!. Drink a couple glasses, and it should soften up your poop so you don't have to push =)

Also, I don't think you will damage anything in your ear by pushing!. Pushing just causes blood to rush to your head, so it may feel like it's going to damage something, but I don't think it will!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would try a stool softener!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I haven't pooped since Monday! What a small world!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
