Stoma

My stoma is swollen very big I'm freaking out

Any pain/stomach uncomfortable? if so seek medical help.......stoma can get swollen either cut the hole in base bigger to fit stoma or you can sprinkle sugar on it I know it's sounds crazy but it takes the swelling down and sugar wont harm stoma

Are you having any output?How long has it been that way?It could be a blockage. Does it look like it's just your normal stoma, only swollen, or does it look like part of your insides have come out further than normal?That would be a prolapse, in which case the sugar would work. If it's a blockage, that won't do anything. Try drinking a bottle of coke if you can, or some other really sweet liquid, real sugar, not sugar-free. Then lie down and try to relax, use your fingers to put pressure all around your stoma. If this doesn't work after a few minutes, try walking around. If still no luck, you probably need to get to the ER. Please let us know how things go, and good luck.
