“Is diarrhea okay after colon resection?”

Yes this is expected

Thank you for your question. What bowel movements constitute 'idiarrhea'requires defining. Frequency, consistency, fluidity & volume are variables that your surgeon will determine to be acceptable in the context of the extent to which your colon has been resected. You will be asked on your post operative visit, questions that will include your bowel movements. This question is one that is best answered by your surgeon given the reasons for undergoing your surgery, the length of colon resected & if you had used antibiotics either before, during & after your surgery. Thank you for your question. I wish you well on your recovery. GABrowne MD. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
