Fybogel is a high fiber drink. So, if dun hv enough water, will make constipation worse. I took fybogel n stool softerner n 3 Litres of water a day after delivery. No issue with pooing. Coz after natural delivery, down there is sore n there is an episotomy wound. Cannot excert force at all. Stool softerner - lactus, can buy fr pharmacy too.
Fleet is immediate relief. Coz it breaks down the big n hard stool into small pieces so that we can clear our bowels. Dr Loh told me can only use once a when Constipdation is really v bad. Frequent usage will irritate our rectrum. I use fleet when it is really bad. It is also given before labour starts to clear our bowels. If not, when we push, the stools will come out too during labour process.
Watever it is, dr Loh told me if I dub take enough fluid (3 Litres), be it lactus or fybogel, it wun work, but only make it worse. Coz I complained to him during pregnancy all these dub work but fleet gives immediate relief! So, after delivery, i really took 3 litres of fluid at least daily.. If not, wound down there may tear even if i can take the pain! Kekeke.
