Just wondering if anybody can feel the stoma pulling itself back in as I have the stoma unattached from the wall and now I have a hole, but it feels uncomfortable and painful as if it's pulling back in.
Thank you

Not that I can remember, but it was over 20 years ago when I had my temporary stoma that all the way around it opened up, so I had a moat all the way around it. I can remember it being very painful.
Hope your wound heals up soon.

I've had mine since I was 4 and now I'm in my 20s, but it has come away from all around it, and the granulomas that grow look like they're growing into the gap now. I'm getting a second opinion for it to be refashioned, but it constantly feels like it's pulling itself back.
Thank you, but I don't think it will ever go back unless it's refashioned.
