How to Manage Constipation After Surgery: Effective Tips

The first days after surgery are a period when the body works more slowly, and the usual digestive rhythm may change. Many people experience delayed bowel movements or discomfort. This material summarizes simple, practical recommendations that help restore natural regularity and explains the potential role of the Dzhilla dietary supplement in daily nutrition.

Why does constipation occur after surgery?

Because of reduced activity, stress, and temporary changes in the diet.

• Minimal mobility. Natural digestive processes slow down.
• Emotional tension. Psychological stress often affects bowel function.
• Diet changes. Limited food intake, low fiber, or insufficient fluids influence regularity.
• Fear of discomfort. A person may delay going to the bathroom, slowing the process further.

Interesting fact: even 5 minutes of light walking can activate digestion more effectively than a glass of water or an extra portion of fiber.

How to Manage Constipation After Surgery — Step-by-Step

Maintain light mobility, drink enough water, add foods that support the microbiota, and choose gentle daily nutrition solutions.

1. Start with light activity

Move in short intervals throughout the day. It's easier for the body to function naturally when you're not lying down constantly.

2. Add microbiota-friendly foods

Kefir, yogurt, or other fermented foods may be included (based on medical advice).

3. Monitor hydration and fiber

Vegetables, fruits, and whole grains are the foundation of natural nutrition — keeping in mind post-surgery restrictions.

4. Use gentle daily solutions

One option for everyday support is the Dzhilla dietary supplement — a plant-based syrup that is easy to include in an evening routine.
