What if a chunk of intestine suddenly comes out of the stoma?

If a large piece of intestine suddenly comes out of the stoma, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital and be treated accordingly under the guidance of the doctor. Usually, a large piece of intestines coming out of the stoma may be caused by poor recovery after stoma operation or postoperative complications such as parastomal hernia. 1. Poor postoperative recovery: patients can clean the affected area by themselves under doctor’s guidance, such as washing the affected area with warm water; they can also slowly push back the prolapsed intestinal mucosa under doctor’s advice to prevent secondary infection; when patients suffer from intestinal torsion or obstruction due to intestinal dislodgement, they should go to the hospital in time for the appropriate treatment to avoid aggravation of the condition. 2. Postoperative complications of parastomal hernia: It is recommended to cooperate with doctors for surgical treatment and timely repair of defective parastomal hernia muscle tissue. If the patient has a large stoma intestine out, should go to the hospital in time for examination, to clarify the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor for appropriate treatment.
