I have an end ileostomy and a urostomy. I also have a rectal prolapse that has been repaired twice, but unfortunately, it's back, so I need more surgery after Christmas. I was given Glistene suppositories that helped at first, but now they cause pain, and I'm unable to pass anything due to no sensation down there. I'm getting really bad backache. The plan would be to remove the rectum, but my consultant is worried as my last operation in May to repair a parastomal hernia and reconstruct my end ileostomy from a transverse colostomy revealed scar tissue around my mesentery artery, so he's reluctant. The plan is to remove some more of the stump and sew it again, but surely that's not going to change the fact I have no anal tone there. Thank you in advance. Has anyone gone through similar? xxx
