I have known that a GA affects the bowels but never asked why/how.
Then, last week, after GA for my double cataract op' I asked when I could be collected and was told "after you've passed urine" (that was no problem
).
That reminded me of my op' for bladder cancer which turned out to be bigger than expected and turned into an 81/2 hour op'...........I was seriously constipated after that.
So.......google to the rescue......
Bowel problems......its often the opiate pain killers that have the biggest affect and as I my case, assistance is needed
Re bladder probs....its more that the GA slows everything down and it needs a gentle prod.
Many will already know all this but thought I would share my findings (waffle)
