I think I have a hernia near my stoma. I just noticed a small bulge on the right side of my stoma. I just got home from a 4-day inpatient hospital stay. I was dehydrated from increased output and pain. I had no other classic symptoms of stomach flu or flare-like symptoms. I got a CT scan, X-ray in the hospital.
How did we miss this hernia? Should I get an ultrasound?
Also, my stoma has looked pale. Could there be a blockage or restriction of some sort?
If you have had a parastomal hernia, did you have these symptoms?
