Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of colon resection in 2009, a long time ago.
Now the bowel movement related issue of having noticed the leakage in underwear and is difficult to clean easily.
The cause can be:
Mucus makes it so smooth that even a straining can cause the leakage.
Lax anal sphincter can have similar issues.
I would advise you the following:
Send the sample of stool for tests.
Per-rectal digital examination and proctoscopy to see if there is any local problem.
Proper medication which may be an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics may help.
Follow the guidelines given by your Surgeon.
