Recently, I had my second prolapse at home. The first time it happened, I was in the hospital and had a stoma revision on May 16. Anyway, it's been over a month and it happened at home on Friday. Luckily, I got my ostomy nurse on the phone and she instructed me to use the ostomy powder and to reduce, push my telescoped small intestines back into my abdomen. My efforts were successful, but now I'm terrified it's going to keep happening. I want to live my life and feel comfortable leaving my house or going for a walk or being intimate with my boyfriend. Does anyone have any advice on how to prevent this from happening again other than not lifting anything heavier than 5 pounds? I'd really appreciate some advice.
