What happens if you don't have a bowel movement for three days after the gastroenteritis is cured, what should I do?

Gastroenteritis generally refers to gastroenteritis, and the absence of stool for three days after gastroenteritis is cured may be caused by gastrointestinal emptying, small food intake, indigestion, hemorrhoids, intestinal obstruction, etc., which need to be treated according to different causes.

1. Gastrointestinal emptying: Gastroenteritis may lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, including slowing down intestinal peristalsis. When gastroenteritis symptoms are relieved, it may take some time for the intestines to return to normal peristalsis and emptying functions, resulting in temporary constipation. Generally, no processing is required.

2. Eat less: During gastroenteritis, due to gastrointestinal discomfort and loss of appetite, it may lead to a decrease in the amount of food eaten. If you don't eat enough, the amount of food in your intestines is also reduced, which reduces the factors that stimulate intestinal peristalsis, which can lead to constipation. Symptoms can be improved by eating appropriately.

3. Indigestion: Gastroenteritis may lead to impaired digestive function, such as decreased gastric acid secretion or insufficient bile secretion, which may affect the digestion and absorption of food, resulting in a prolonged stay time of food in the intestines, which in turn causes the above phenomena. You can follow the doctor's instructions to take drugs such as stomach digesting tablets, lactobacillus tablets, and mosapride citrate tablets for relief.

4. Hemorrhoids: During gastroenteritis, diarrhea and abdominal discomfort may lead to straining to defecate, increasing the risk of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids can cause constipation because pain and discomfort can make a person reluctant to strain to have a bowel movement.It can be treated with hemorrhoidectomy.

5. Intestinal obstruction: gastroenteritis may cause intestinal inflammation or edema, resulting in narrowing or blockage of the intestinal lumen and forming intestinal obstruction. Intestinal obstruction can impede the normal passage of food and stool, leading to constipation. This can be improved by gastrointestinal decompression.

If there is no bowel movement or other uncomfortable symptoms for three days, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and diagnosis, as well as to obtain appropriate treatment recommendations.
