Strange Spherical Object from My Stoma - Advice Needed!

This topic is about a person who noticed something unusual happening with their stoma. They described seeing small, round objects, similar in color to cookie dough and about the size of a large blueberry, coming out of their stoma. These objects have a soft outer layer and a firm center, resembling tapioca or boba pearls. Along with this, the person is experiencing severe abdominal pain and is understandably worried.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by others:

1. It's important to seek immediate medical evaluation. Many people emphasize the need to contact a surgeon or primary care physician as soon as possible, as the combination of these spheres and intense abdominal pain could be a sign of a serious issue.

2. Consider bringing a sample to your medical appointment. It might be helpful to save one of these spheres to show your medical team, which could assist in making an accurate assessment.

3. There is a possibility that these could be undigested medication. Some pills, especially those with indigestible shells, can pass through the body intact and might look like small, firm objects. However, it's still crucial to get a professional evaluation.

4. Providing follow-up information is encouraged. Others have requested updates on the diagnosis and how the pain is being managed, as this could help anyone else who might experience similar symptoms in the future.
