A member asked:

Colostomy but leaking stool from anus c4 level sci, 21 years post injury. colostomy about 18 years. leaking stool from rectum last 4 or 5 days..?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: I do not know what surgery you had, if it is an end or loop colostomy. The residual rectum will occasionally have a thick mucous dischage that could look like bowel contents, and if you have a loop colostomy the rectal discharge could be more. May need to see a doctor for an examination.
