Hi all. I had ileostomy reversal 2 yrs ago. In recent weeks I have noticed a slight bulge just above the stoma scar. Its slightly more noticeable on a full stomach. I do a physical job with a fair bit of lifting. I wonder does anyone else have experience of this? Thanks.

I still have my colostomy, but I also have a hernia where the stoma is. My doc said that it is normal because of the weaker mussels it can easily tare. Talk to your doc they might be able to do a repair as your stoma is no longer there.
