I developed a Parastomal hernia not long after my colostomy, 4 years ago! It's now quite large and the surgeons just say they are reluctant to operate because it's a big and invasive procedure! I don't want this either of course! I'm after a bit of advice from anyone in the same position! I have girdles to help hold it in place but they actually hurt my genital area, where I've had radiotherapy! I've been left so sensitive down there that I can hardly wear knickers! I'm smothered in sudocrem most of the time and sitting is painful after a while, so you can imagine! My next lot of Support X isn't till August, is it worth me buying a hernia belt? Any advice would be so welcome!
