The bottom of my stoma has blood coming out of it, not the hole where the urine comes out. It is getting hard to stop it. It's been bleeding almost 24 hours now, off and on. I've used pressure, ice cubes, and it stops for a bit but starts back. It fills my bag full. What can I do to stop it? My kids say they see a raised bump on it.

That does not sound right.
You should get a doctor or stoma nurse to look at it right away. If that's not possible, I would think you should get yourself to an emergency room.

You will get real advice from fellow ostomates who truly understand you - things you won't find in the books.
And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

If there was ever a time to go to the E.R., now is the time, dude.
Or call an ambulance 🚑 you might become faint if you try driving.
Let them patch you up and get the help you need.
