I was wondering if anyone knows or has experience with leaking from bottom with a permanent ostomy. I am 3 weeks post surgery and had my butt sewn shut but am still having pink leakage. My question is is this normal and will it stop, my thinking is if your butts sewn shut nothing should come out.

It should just be the wound leaking as it heals, which can be normal. Have you had your post-op appointment to check on how it is healing? If is starts to hurt more, or the leaking increases, contains puss or smells bad, call your surgeon's office ASAP as it could be a sign of wound infection. Good luck.
Thank you for your reply...there is no pain and no odor just what I think is a lot of draining for something that is supposed to be sewn shut...sometimes if I'm standing or after a walk it will literally drip onto the floor or if I put some tp back there it will b soaked...I felt back there and its crusted over everywhere except one small spot near the front where the dripping is coming from...
