Anyone with a colostomy tried irrigation??
I am fed up with my
colostomy
bags leaking!!! Tried all different types but they are all the same. Embarrassing when you are out. Looking at 'you tube' and it appears easy. Stoma nurse happy for me to try but going for 2nd lot of chemo treatment at end October.

Has anyone else on here had a colectomy or other abdominal surgery and had problems with adhesions on their fallopian tubes?
Was referred for testing, but consultant has refused to test my tubes because my AMH is also low and he says I will need IVF anyway. Have asked for second opinion, but could take weeks for re-referral. Should I just go private? Ovulation is normal and DH's sperm normal. Herbalist says my AMH not that

Years of thinking all the discomfort was normal!!!!!
Everything went well and I do not have a iostomy or
colostomy
bag. I have four insertions on my stomach, I am still swollen but healing nicely. I still can't walk as fast I would like and get a really bad stitch if I over do it.

Back under the knife tomorrow!
what if I wake up tomorrow with a
colostomy
??? I know they said it would only be temporary if it got to that point but what man can cope with that!?! Everyone just keeps telling me that
colostomy
etc is worst case and I need to stop over thinking things.

Sick of the pain, sick of waiting, sick of it all!
I get married in April and I can't even go dress shopping cuz I don't know when I'll be having surgery or IVF or if I'll have a
colostomy
or even be pregnant. It's just crazy to think there could be so many different outcomes.

Any advice?
He also had to have an operation and the end result was a
colostomy
. This time last year his legs started to swell so he consulted his GP. He was referred to an oncologist and a scan showed the cancer had returned. He subsequently had 6 months of chemo.

I just don't want irreversible cancer!

Wish me luck for Thursday my lap
I have my lap Thursday, possible
colostomy
bag as a spot is on rectum, spots on blood supply to ovary so possible loss of ovary and fibroids removed possible hyster. What are the chances of these happening as I am terrified I will wake up with all my 'lady bits' gone. X

Pains in the Summer
My son had a vascular problem, which I diagnosed when he was in 10 months but it took 1 year to have a treatment and it infected inside and he ended up having
colostomy
because of the system and the people’s ignorance.
