A member asked:
I wanted to know is bloody and mucus discharge from the anus normal after an ileostomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the ileostomy surgery is new, there may be some temporary bloody and mucus drainage. If the ileostomy is not new, bloody drainage is not normal and should be evaluated by your gastroenterologist.
