About once a week when I change the bag, blood will start to spurt out. I took paper towel and applied pressure to the stoma. This happened several months ago, so I went to the emergency room and was told I could have ruptured a capillary while applying the bag. But this time I could not stop it for about an hour, and I was livid not to go back to the hospital. Has anyone had this problem?
