Is A White Layer On Stool After Ovarian Cystectomy Normal?

Hi! I recently had a ovarian cystectomy done to remove an ovarian dermoid cyst this past Monday, and as a part of the procedure they had to give me anesthesia, which in turn put my digestive system under anesthesia as well. As a result of this, I hadn t had a bowel movement in a week, exactly. So I finally ended up having my first bowel movement today, but I noticed something very unusual about it. I noticed that there was almost a mold-like white fuzz on most of the feces. (trying to put this as nicely as I can) I m assuming that it looks like this because it has been in my digestive tract for so long? But at the same time I would like to make sure I am not missing something. Thank you!!

Hi there.

You could be having Intestinal infection. Take Tablet Ofloxacin with Ornidazole. Drink plenty of water. Consult your Doctor if or does not resolve in a day out two.
