Rectal Stump Inflammation Update: Treatment Completed

Topic Explanation:

The forum discussion revolves around an update on the treatment of rectal stump inflammation experienced by a user. The user had been dealing with bleeding due to inflammation, which was unnerving as it involved passing small streams of blood multiple times a day. The treatment involved using Mesalamine suppositories, 1000 mg, for 30 days, with one suppository taken each night before bed. The user reported no side effects from the medication, although they noticed a slight change in the appearance of their stoma. After completing the treatment, the user experienced no unusual rectal stump activity and provided an update on their condition.

Advice and Insights:

1. Monitoring and Seeking Medical Advice:
- Keep an eye on the stoma for any changes. If there are further changes or issues with output, seek medical advice.

2. Post-Treatment Observations:
- After completing the treatment, the user began expelling mucus without pain or strain, which occurred 2 to 3 times a day. This was seen as a positive sign, as there were no leaks or blood.

3. Personal Experiences and Outcomes:
- Another user shared their experience with mucus expulsion, noting that it drove them nuts, leading to a decision to have everything removed due to Crohn's disease. They expressed no regrets about their decision.

4. Medication Effectiveness:
- The medication was effective in managing the rectal stump inflammation, and the user was surprised by the quick return of mucus, which was better than after surgery. They hoped this would be their new normal.
