Hi
I have had a pancolectomy for 18 years and very few problems. I have also had a total hysterectomy.
Recently, I have had a heaviness and pressure in the anus stump area and a slight pulling below my ileostomy. I have an MRI and CT booked, but I was wondering if anyone had something similar.
Could it be an enterocele?

It sounds like it to me. I had similar symptoms, and my surgeon found that a loop of small intestine had dropped down behind my uterus. If you've had a hysterectomy, that leaves even more space for the intestine to drop down. Your scans should reveal what's going on. Good luck!

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I have to admit this website does seem very friendly and helpful.
I will definitely log into chat as soon as I can and see who is around. Looking forward to meeting some like-minded people! :)
It will get better and calm down in time. There's Botox too if it's that bad; you can ask about it.
