Summary

Post-operative constipation is one of the most common complaints after pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Psyillum fiber is an FDA-approved, over the counter dietary supplement that is commonly used to treat constipation. The investigators are conducting this study to determine if participants who receive psyllium fiber before surgery have less difficulty with their first bowel movement after surgery.
