Suggest Remedy For Chroic Rectal Discharge With A History Of Ostomy

is there a treatment for rectal mucous discharge. My mother is post op two years with an ostomy because of cancer in the lower bowel. Lately this mucus discharge is a real nuisance and she has to wear a pad. She feels a little pressure and then it comes out of her rectum. What can be done.

Hi

Best would be reversal of the ostomy to reconnect the natural passage. This is not possible is all cases. So kindly follow up with the operation records and patients detail. Even if theoretically possible, will need to access her anal tone and control before this surgery.

Can talk about other options if you follow up with detailed patient records.
