Sorry for the TMI but, How much is enough to need to worry about?
I suffered from bowel/bladder incontinence before this ileostomy due to muscle and nerve damage.
Tonight I pasted a fist-size amount of mucus into my protective brief.
I have passed small amounts before and hard mucus blobs rectally since surgery but never this much.
Also, there was a very bad odor to it.
I thought my bag had leaked but then checked my brief and was shocked at how much mucus came out.
I will be calling my ostomy nurse tomorrow as well but was hoping that someone here could let me know if this is something I should freak out over.
Trying not to stress or get anxious over everything going on.
