Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person who had a colostomy two years ago and has noticed rapid growth in the size and protrusion of their stoma. They are seeking advice on whether this growth is normal and at what point they should be concerned.

Advice and Insights:
- Seek advice from a surgeon or an Ostomy Wound Clinic to address the rapid growth of the stoma.
- Contact the original surgeon's office to explain the issue and make an appointment as soon as possible.
- Request to get onto the surgeon's "cancellation list" to potentially see the surgeon earlier.
- If the stoma is still functioning normally and there is no discomfort, it may not be a serious issue, but it's important to have it checked out by an ostomy nurse.
- Consider the possibility of a parastomal hernia and take precautions such as using a belt before doing core exercises.
- Gradually strengthen abdominal muscles with gentle core exercises to avoid worsening a hernia.
- Consult an ostomy nurse or surgeon before starting any exercise regimen to prevent complications.
- Consider getting pants or a hernia belt for support, which may be available through insurance or medical suppliers.
- Get properly sized for a hernia belt with an ostomy nurse or supplier to ensure it doesn't obstruct the stoma's output.
