Four months ago, I had my ileostomy of 3 1/2 years reversed and my parastomal hernia repaired. I had a colostomy moved to my left side. I've had no stoma issues, other than getting the correct shape, until yesterday. My stoma is leaking a watery discharge and it seems to be swollen in places. My output is solid, but my exit hole seems swollen around it. There is no pain, but I'm really scared about the watery bubbles on the inside of my bag. Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone had this happen to them?
