What are the symptoms of a stoma hernia?

A stoma hernia may appear as a reusable mass at the site of the stoma that bulges out with high pressure and retracts with low pressure, and may be painful and distensible. A stoma hernia may appear as an outwardly protruding mass around the stoma, which may appear during prolonged standing, constipation, coughing, or heavy lifting, and may diminish or disappear when resting or lying down and the abdominal pressure decreases, or the mass may gradually increase in size. Patients may experience pain with the mass, swelling at the stoma site, indigestion, etc. If severe pain occurs, consider that an incarceration has occurred and seek medical attention promptly. When patients consider the development of stoma hernia, they should go to the hospital in time, diagnosed by professional doctors, and then take appropriate treatment according to the specific circumstances.
