Hi I had a rectal tumour removed April 24 then had my stoma reversed in November 24. I have LARS which was settling down a bit but recently I have had 2 painful bowel blockages which have resulted from adhesions. Can anyone give me any advice how to prevent further blockages or what to do if it re occurs?
I would be very grateful. Thanks.
Hi Grannyjac Blockages can be serious so you might be best asking your hospital or maybe posting in the Ask a Nurse section?
