Few things are necesary after c-sec to avoid constipation: Diet rich in fibre, plenty of fluids , and most importantly mobility.Make sure you move about enough.Normally constipation sould not last this long. You can continue laxatives(provided you are consuming one that is safe during breastfeeding) for a few more days( bcos constipation needs to be avoided at any cost),but please increase the other factors so that you can stop laxatives after that.You can apply proctosedyl cream two to three times daily for ta few days for relief from the anal fissure.
