My husband had a temporary colostomy placed 7 weeks ago. Today he had a normal size bowel movement rectally. Is this normal? Should his surgeon be notified?
My husband has a temp colostomy and has rectal bm his surgeon says this is fine... Hope this helps.
I had a temp colonostomy placed and still cant have normal bowel fuctions , i am scared to go have it reversed since this would be surgery number 3 , the first was suppost to fix colon but threw me in emergency surgery and ended up with colostomy , its been since sept of 07 , but having bowel movements out of the rectum is normal my doc says
Just had mine reversed and this happens apparently. I did tell the surgeon who was not worried about it.
This happened to me and I didn't know what to do thanks
I had an accident whereby I blew out my rectum and became incontinent and had to have surgery, a colostomy, to correct it. What is this diagnosis called?
My husband recently had a colostomy and is passing small amounts of gas from his rectum. Could this be normal?
Can there be rectal gas or a bowel movement after a colostomy?
