slight pain near stoma

PouchomarxMember

i have had my ileostomy for almost a year now. In the past few weeks, I have had a dull pain in that area. I was starting to fear a peristomal hernia??? but there is no lumps or anything that i can see. If i press down in the area its just a tad bit tender but dont feel anything odd? Can anyone shed light ?

not sure if this is of any help, I've had my loop for about 8 months now.

when it gets active, I get a tight sensation around the stoma. I find pressing down in the surrounding area on the abdomen helps the output come out.

I wouldn't call it a pain though
