It's been 6 days since my gallbladder was removed through laparoscopic surgery because of gallstones but I still haven't had a bowel movement. Urine output is fine but no stool even though I'm taking Duphalac. Is this normal after gallbladder surgery?

I'm dealing with jaundice right now, and I've been feeling the urge to masturbate more often. I'm worried and curious if it's okay to masturbate while having jaundice. Are there any risks or side effects I should be aware of if I continue?
It's always best to consult with your healthcare provider about specific activities, including sexual activity or masturbation, when you have a liver condition like jaundice. Your doctor can give you tailored advice based on the severity of your condition and overall health.

I'm a 25-year-old male and a bit overweight. Lately, I've noticed my stool has been narrower, sometimes even pencil-thin. There's no blood, fever, or stomach pain, but when I looked it up online, I came across something about colon cancer. Now I'm really freaked out. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on?
Less likely to be related to colon cancer. Narrow or pencil-thin stool can sometimes be caused by benign conditions such as changes in diet, dehydration, or a lack of fiber. However, it is important to rule out any serious underlying issues. I recommend you try increasing your fiber intake and staying hydrated. You can also consider taking a stool softener like Colace (docusate sodium) to help with stool consistency. If the issue persists or if you develop any concerning symptoms, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation
