Seeking Advice - Coping with Parastomal Hernia Pain

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice on coping with parastomal hernia pain. The original poster is asking if anyone else experiences pain with their parastomal hernia and what helps with the pain.

Advice and Insights:
- Avoiding triggers such as trapped wind or waste that put pressure on the hernia can help alleviate pain.
- Using a hernia belt may not entirely prevent pain but can provide peace of mind and confidence.
- Stoma plugs can help open up the passageway and release trapped air, but they may also cause pressure on the outside of the stoma, leading to pain.
- Reversal surgery is a potential solution for fixing the hernia, and the poster is encouraged to look forward to the surgery for resolution of their problems.
- Another member shares their experience of being pain-free after the ileostomy and expresses hesitation about reversal due to the fear of potential pain.
- One member shares that their pain started about 6 weeks after the ileostomy and they are scheduled for reversal, hoping for the pain to be gone after the procedure.

Helpful Insights:
- Members share their experiences with parastomal hernia pain and offer support and encouragement to those seeking solutions.
- Different perspectives on the decision to undergo reversal surgery are shared, highlighting the fear of potential pain and the hope for pain relief after the procedure.
