Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. In some cases mucus fluid may come from anal canal after ileostomy but it should be in small quantity and shouldn't be frequent. I would suggest you to observe closely and if you feel that quantity is increased discharge as unusual color then you need to visit your treating doctor for further workup.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
