Hi, I have had a stoma for six years now following colorectal cancer. I developed a parastomal hernia about a year ago. I recently stupidly moved a washing machine, and now I have slight pain if a stool is touching the stoma or when it moves just before it passes through the stoma. Also, I wear Corsinell support boxers which unfortunately tend to promote pancaking. Can anyone help, please?
