I'm having a very unusual problem at the moment. My stoma for the last 9 months after having an operation for a parastomal hernia has been okay, but as of last Sunday 16th, my stoma started to prolapse from 25mm to 50mm, but then at night and in the morning, it had retracted to almost flat. It has been doing this each day and night since. Has anyone had this problem before? Regards, IGGIE
