Hi everyone, For the past month or so I have noticed a different area on my stoma where stools are coming out of. I had spoken to the nurse at the surgicial clinic and she just
ushed it off. But the ostomy nurse I see yesterday measured it, it measured 2 cm in depth, he noticed some watery liquid coming out of it. So going to see my dr on Tuesday not sure what it can be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<
