Funny bowels after surgery

Hi. I had a revision of skin around my tvt sling one week ago today. I was put completely under. My stomach is cramping a lot and I go many times a day. All my bowel movements are thin, apart and there is almost a mucus or leakage when I wipe. Lots of stomach cramping. I I am always regular before this surgery and even after my last when I was put under in oct. My pain meds are so minimal. I have taken about 7 vicodin, total, just finished round of cephalexin, and about one to two ibuprofen a da

you likely received antibiotics before,during or after surgery. I wojld be concerned that you may have antibiotic associated colitis ( C. Diff colitis) . While a change of bowel habits is not uncommon after antibiotics, the abdominal cramping , stool frequency and leakage, I would see a health care provider and get checked. Early treatment is suggested.
