It has been three days since the last radiotherapy session without a bowel movement, so I would like to ask what should be done about not having a bowel movement after radiotherapy?

Dr. Peng Xiaodong
After chemotherapy, if constipation occurs, patients can adjust their diet by consuming more foods rich in dietary fiber and drinking adequate amounts of water to help promote gastrointestinal motility and relieve constipation. This condition is usually caused by side effects of chemotherapy drugs, and bowel movements typically return to normal gradually as the effects of the chemotherapy drugs diminish.
