A member asked:
My wife had a right colon resection a little over a week ago and when she has a bowel movement she has no sensation off the need. is this normal?

Possibly: It may take some time to recover to fully normal function after colon surgery. Since this is very soon after the procedure, and the resection is not in the area where sensation is usually affected, it should normalize soon. Make sure she follows up with her surgeon as directed.

Loose: It is common to have loose stool after a colon resection, but watery diarrhea and stool incontinence is not typical. See your doctor about this issue, and to rule out an infection in your colon.
