I wonder if anybody can help? I am having pain and some slight discharge from back passage when I go to empty my stomach bag. It’s only just happened recently but I am worried about the bowel healing properly.
I can understand your concern. It is not uncommon to have some discharge from the back passage (rectum), as there are still some gland cells left there that produce fluid.
If discharge is bloody, then it should be reported to a doctor.
If your pain is ongoing, then do ask your hospital stoma nurse contact, if you have one. They can advise you further. They may speak to your hospital specialist.
You can also speak with your GP, who can prescribe some painkillers for you as well.
