Has anyone had changes in size or shape of their stoma?

Four years since surgery. Have noticed stoma is extended some. Is this serious?

  1. Hi thanks for reaching out. Since we are not medical professionals, I would definitely say to ask your doctor about this, as they would know your medical history the best. I did find an article that discusses some complications that could happen with the stoma: https://bladdercancer.net/living/stoma-complications, however, this would best be discussed with your medical team. I hope you get the answers you deserve. Jill (Team Member)
