Just had my 1st surgery which included colon removal, j pouch creation and ileostomy loop. I don't get this discharge that I still have the urge to dispel from the anal area. There is a an occasional feeling of fulness that I need to get rid of. Anyone else recall having this? or how long this feeling lasts?
Hi. It's normal. You still have some intestines down there and you will be expelling mucous and maybe even a small bit of blood as a result of your surgery. As long as it's not too much, you're good. I think it's also a good sign that things are working down there! Be careful not to strain too much. It will get less and less but ma continue until your next surgery.
