It is not normal to have a feeling of stool and a feeling of falling in the anus after stoma, but with the recovery of the disease, a feeling of defecation may appear.
The so-called stoma is a treatment method for patients with rectal or anal cancer, in which the anus is removed in order to completely remove the cancerous tumor, and an incision is made in the abdomen, which serves as a temporary or permanent outlet for fecal matter to be discharged from the intestinal tract.
Usually, fecal material is discharged from the stoma site without the sensation of having a bowel movement, and since there is no anus in the pelvic area, there is no fecal irritation and no sensation of falling down. If there is a sensation of bowel movement or a falling sensation, it may be caused by pelvic fluid or blood accumulation that irritates the muscles of the pelvic floor, and you need to seek medical attention and have it checked.
After stoma surgery, with the recovery of the disease and through their own exercise, patients may gradually develop the habit of regular bowel movement, and may also gradually produce bowel movement sensation, but generally do not have a falling sensation.
In addition, for patients with stoma, it is necessary to do more psychological counseling and intervention, because after the stoma, it can cause the patient’s mood to be unpleasant, and even lead to the occurrence of depression.
