Seeking Advice - Endometriosis & Colostomy Challenges

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about a person seeking advice regarding challenges related to endometriosis and a colostomy. The individual had a non-cancerous mass removal surgery, which revealed endometriosis that degraded the colon, leading to a colostomy. They are concerned about the potential reattachment of endometriosis to the colon during the healing process and the challenges of managing the stoma in a work environment.

Advice and Insights
- Wear panties and tuck in the stoma, and opt for comfortable/easy to pull down waistband sweatpants or jeans to accommodate the stoma (Reply 2).
- Look into ostomy guards for support (Reply 3).
- Consider the possibility of endometriosis causing complications, and explore the option of a hysterectomy if the condition has reached the colon or intestines (Reply 8).
- Share experiences and seek advice from others who have dealt with similar complications (Reply 4, 5, 6, 7).
- Research and gather information from reliable medical sources to understand the condition better (Reply 5, 7).

Relevant Information
- The individual's experience with endometriosis and the challenges faced after the surgery.
- Insights into the rarity of endometriosis in the colon and the potential impact of previous medical procedures on the condition.
- Support and encouragement for the individual to seek further medical advice and consider alternative treatment options.
