This May Help If You’re Having Trouble With a BM

I would just like to say I am not a medical professional I’m only sharing my experience. Today makes day 8 post-op for me. I’ve had several BM’s but haven’t had one in about 2 days. However, today when I was using the bathroom and had the urge for one, my nose started running. I grabbed some toilet paper and blew my nose which seemed to gently contract my muscles and I had an easy bowel movement.

I decided to share it with all of you who may be having trouble and are afraid to strain. If you’ve tried everything else, try blowing your nose while sitting on the toilet! (Oh and drink lots of water!)
