General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is quite common after taking morphine. Nothing much to worry and it is due to excretion of metabolites through stool. No definite treatment is required and it will settle by itself.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
