Hi,
I had an ileal conduit (stoma) about 4 weeks ago. Just wondering how long I will have minor periodic discharge from the penis. Thanks.

Typically, the discharge will last from a few days to 3-4 weeks. If it doesn't stop soon, I'd call your surgeon to find out what's up.

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.

I had the same issue when I got my ileostomy; I had a mucus discharge for a couple of months after surgery. The doctor said there was nothing to worry about.

I had discharge for a couple of weeks after they removed the drain tube. It probably depends on how much fluid your body makes and how well it's absorbed. The rest has to come out somewhere. Hopefully, it stops soon. But, I'd mention it to the doctor.
