Hi, I have an ileo and a large peristomal hernia. I have been having issues lately with my peristomal hernia getting very large. I'm dealing with the surgeon and can't see the ostomy nurse until next Friday. Right now my stoma is fully protruded all of the time and bothering me. This week I've noticed bleeding and ulcers on the stoma itself. Anyone else have ulcers on your actual stoma? They look just like canker sores you get in your mouth but on the stoma itself, not the skin around it.
Hi WJ, I've had those occasionally on my stoma over the years and they don't seem to be a problem, but I keep an eye on them.

I had a sore that was bleeding on my stoma, and it turned into a prolapsed growth. It wasn't there the morning of my surgery, but it was when I was released. My surgeon cut it out in the doctor's office, sent it to biopsy, and found out it was cancer. Cancer caused all my issues. I hope that's not the case for you. Just make sure you get any growths removed and biopsied.
