Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners
Are my bowel movements normal after ileostomy reversal?
Related Topics
When I go to the bathroom my bowels will start to move but then stop and I can feel I am not through but if I push on my right cheek close to the crack it will start it back up and it takes me 30 to 60 min sometimes to complete my movement. It's usually only one a day. -

Thanks
HealthShare Member
I had a reconnection over 2 years ago, I still go to the toilet frequently, especially in the mornings (approx 5 times, at least) 4-5 times in the afternoon. Over the period of the day I have a good bowel clean out. I still have the foul wind, apart from that, I keep well.
I do use Bepanthen creme on my anus as it gets sore and hot around that area with frequent wiping after so many bowel movements.
I had 'all clear' 4 mths ago after usual tests. I wish you the same
