Post ileostomy reversal issues 6 months on are these normal?

My partner had his reversal 6 months ago, and aside from the runny stools and very smelly gas, he is losing quite a bit of blood from his back passage when he goes to the toilet. Is this normal, as it seems a long time to still be having these issues. I'm really worried. 

  • Hi ChezGreg,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. To be honest I'm not really able to advise on this and would suggest that you get the thoughts of your partner's doctor/specialist if you can.

    It may also be helpful to talk to one of our nurses - if so, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
