Reply to "Temporary Stoma/Ostomy"

If you do need to go back to a temporary ostomy, I hope you find relief. If needed, ask your surgeon to make sure your temporary stoma is not retracted, if possible. Mine was retracted and so deeply set under the skin surface that leakage and the resulting burnt skin was agony and the constant bag changes was stressful. They can put a temporary rod under the stoma to stop it "slipping" back inside, and remove it when the stoma seems set. Unfortunately I didn't have a rod in place because we didn't know it would retract. Good luck.
