Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that involves altering the labia minora or the labia majora. While the procedure itself doesn’t directly affect bowel movements or the ability to poop, the recovery process may involve some discomfort or difficulty with certain movements, including going to the bathroom.
It’s common for patients to experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the genital area after labiaplasty. This discomfort may make certain movements, such as sitting or using the bathroom, temporarily challenging. However, it’s important to maintain regular bowel movements for overall health and to follow any post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon.
If you have concerns about bowel movements or any other aspect of your recovery after labiaplasty, it’s best to discuss them with your surgeon. They can provide guidance on managing discomfort and ensuring a smooth recovery process.
