     Hi everyone,  For the past month or so I have noticed a different area on my stoma where stools are coming out of.  I had spoken to the nurse at the surgicial clinic and she just
ushed it off.  But the ostomy nurse I see yesterday measured it, it measured 2 cm in depth, he noticed some watery liquid coming out of it.  So going to see my dr on Tuesday not sure what it can be.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<

Meetanostomate has been a great avenue and resource to meet new people with the same challenges, fall in love, fall out of love but most of all fall out of loneliness that comes with self-doubt…

hi blessed its my understanding that it depends on the size and location that it can be treated with antibiotics or it may need surgery, but i,m no doctor.  good luck
