It is obligatory to perform istinja' (washing after defecation) and wash whatever has stained the clothes, and to perform wudu' (ablution) when anything comes out from the anus. Care should be taken by placing a tissue to prevent the spread of impurity. Avoiding impurity is a condition for the validity of prayer according to the majority of scholars. If you are unable to remove it, then pray according to your condition.
