Gen: Fiber

I recently went to an update on gyn surgery/pelvic support, etc., given by ACOG and the speakers were excellent (mostly Cleveland Clinic folks or alums).

Increasing fiber was touted for many things, especially after surgery, etc.

So. . .do people still use low residue diets, after A and P repairs, or 4th degree tears (one of our CNMs just had one).

I'm thinking that increasing fiber and adding a stool softener makes sense.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
