This topic is about dealing with ulcers and bleeding on a stoma that is fully protruded due to a large peristomal hernia. The person sharing their experience has an ileostomy and has noticed some concerning symptoms, including bleeding and ulcer-like lesions on the stoma. They are seeking advice from others who might have faced similar issues. Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. Some people have experienced small, canker-like ulcers on their stoma. These often heal on their own, but it's important to keep an eye on them for any changes.

2. If the sores persist, grow, or bleed, it's crucial to have them checked by a surgeon. In one case, a bleeding sore turned out to be a prolapsed growth that needed to be removed and biopsied, revealing cancer. It's important to address any suspicious growths promptly.

3. Continuous bleeding from the stoma might be due to stomal varices, which are dilated veins. It's important to get a medical assessment to confirm or rule this out.

4. If there are structural issues, such as a gap between the stoma and the surrounding tissue after surgery, it's advisable to consult with a surgeon or an ostomy nurse for a review.
