Hi, I’m really worried my stoma has sucked itself back inside so now it’s flat to my skin no dongle bit 😭 I don’t know why this happened I was in a lot of pain last night and naturally it’s sore but I changed it after my bath yesterday and it was fine but now today I changed it and it’s now not protruding anymore. I don’t understand what’s happening and I’m really worried…..I’m guessing this will now leave me open to leaks and things it still works fine but I’m really scared and confused why this has happened. I’ve contacted my stoma team but they take forever to reply and could be days so I wanted to reach out for help thank you Helen
