Stoma Prolapse: Safe Core Exercises Post-Surgery?

I am used to be active and working out.  I experienced stoma prolapse, and I am afraid to move.  I want to be able to do core exercises to get strong post surgery.  Any suggestions on what is safe? Or good resources

Hi CP86,  I hesitate to give you advice on this, and I see that others seem to be hesitating too!  I had a colostomy (now have an ileo) and experienced prolapses, a few minor ones that went back in by themselves.  I had another really bad one where I had to go to the ER and they had to anesthetize me twice to get it back in.  It can be so bad that you need surgery to correct it, so it's not something to take lightly.  I think you should get a doctor's or an ostomy nurse's advice on this one.  I don't think the medical profession is really sure what causes prolapses, so it's had to know how to avoid them.  It makes sense though, that abdominal or core exercises might be risky.  At the very least, I would probably wear a hernia belt, but I'm not sure that would be enough.  I do know that once you have had a prolapse, you are more likely to have another.  I think you should get some professional advice before you take any chances.

Good luck,

Terry

I recently had ileostomy prolapse and same concerns. Doctor is unable to see me until June 10
