Hi,

I had an ileal conduit (stoma) about 4 weeks ago. Just wondering how long I will have minor periodic discharge from the penis. Thanks.

No idea, but I hope things heal right for you.

Typically, the discharge will last from a few days to 3-4 weeks. If it doesn't stop soon, I'd call your surgeon to find out what's up.

Nervous but excited about tomorrow. I have been reading some of the threads here and am brand new to the site. I am grateful to have had the ileostomy so my body had a chance to heal but am truly hoping all goes well with the operation and future.

I have a collapsed disk in my back and sleeping on it for the past 7 months because of the bag has caused me constant daily excruciating pain. I haven't slept through the night and have had so many accidents.

I am so glad I found this site. Gained so much information so I am much better prepared for what happens post operation and what worked for people diet and supplement (fiber) wise. Thank you for that.

I had the same issue when I got my ileostomy; I had a mucus discharge for a couple of months after surgery. The doctor said there was nothing to worry about.

I had discharge for a couple of weeks after they removed the drain tube. It probably depends on how much fluid your body makes and how well it's absorbed. The rest has to come out somewhere. Hopefully, it stops soon. But, I'd mention it to the doctor.
