Following my treatment for Pseudomyxoma peritoni that included CRS and HIPEC where I was told the result was excellent, I have been unable to have a bowel movement in 15 days!!
I have been given endless movicol, now changed to Laxido but still nothing!
Just a bit of mucus and brown jelly ( sorry)
I was eating fairly normally for the last 4 days but I've now been put back on a fluids only.
I have a low anastimosis between colon and rectum. The colon is total quiet apart from passing a little gas 5/6 times a day.
I've just been switched to Laxido that is still having no effect.
I feel totally bloated and panic stricken as to what will happen if I don't go soon.
The CT scan I had yesterday shows my bowel is totally full.
I've been told I cannot have an enema as it could damage the anastimosis.
Has anyone else experienced this?
What was the outcome?
I am at Basingstoke Peritoneal Malignancy Unit.
