I woke up today and took a shower when I went to change my bag I noticed a bulge next to my stomach. It kind of looks like a big blister but it’s really big, about the size of a large grape. I’m not sure if I should go to the ER or wait to see. I’m passing stool fine; no diarrhea or hard stool. There is no pain. It’s just this weird lump. I am two years post Ostomy but had a parastomal hernia repair last month. Should I go to the doctor or will this go away? Any suggestions.
