Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes. I have stoma, lower left side. I have now been diagnosed with an insicional hernia on the original incision to remove the tumour. It'a about 2 inches directly below the stoma. Surgeon is going to sort it with some mesh but has advised I wear some sort of support until the op. Ive tried a couple of types which go around the waist and a piece goes down over the hernia and back up behind. Problem is that this bit sits right over the stoma! Any suggestions please?
That’s excellent Tony-I’m glad you were able to get such useful help from the nurse. I know from my own experience the helpline staff are lovely. I hope you’ll let us know how you get on-the question of the op for a parastomal hernia comes up but not many people seem to be able to give their experience if it. All the best to you going forward.
