My stoma is increasing in length from top to bottom as well as slowly sticking out farther. I am having no problems with its production. Still emptying normal amounts per day. When I lie down, it goes back in a little. Everything I've read online says it's normal and no need to worry. However, it just looks "weird." Has anyone had this issue and NOT done anything? Just let it keep functioning normally and letting it go, so to speak?
