Hernia
The term parastomal hernia is used to describe a bulge or swelling on or around your stoma.
Trying to prevent the formation of a parastomal hernia is recommended.
- Try not to lift anything heavy within first 6-8 weeks following surgery.
- If you intend to do any strenuous work when you have fully recovered from your surgery, you should wear a support belt to protect the abdominal muscles.
- Try and commence exercises to strengthen the core abdominal muscles ( seek professional advice from physiotherapist).
- The shape and size of the stoma may change due to an enlarged hernia. Measure the stoma regularly to ensure your pouch accurately fits the size of the stoma.
- A more flexible baseplate will achieve a better fit.
See below for product recommendations to help with managing your stoma when you have a hernia.
