It has been almost a year after my second surgery and I have started to pass odd mucus material through my anus. This is like thick putty, slightly pinkish. It makes me feel like I need to move my bowels but my large intestine was removed because it died in less than 24 hours. I have never had this before. It has a very bad odor but it is not hard material, rather more soft. Since this started yesterday, I have felt somewhat odd. I have had some nausea, felt weak and this material irritates the area around my bottom. Has anyone had this happen to them? What did you do and how do you tell the difference between normal discharge and a possible infection?
