My 36 year old sister was involved in a horseback riding accident almost 4 weeks ago. She has had a colostomy for over 2 weeks and this morning her abdomen starting hurting and when she removed the pad from the wound she had feces coming out of the wound that she sustained in the accident. she immediatelycalled the doctor and he said it was normal, that it could happen everyday. This is not the mucous discharge i have read about, it is actual feces ( and lots of it). The wound she has was over 11cm deep and is now around 8cm. the wound has to be flushed and repacked 3 times daily. could someone please help?
