Has anyone now got a stoma because of a car accident or similar, not a pre-existing condition such as UC or Crohn's?

I see lots of various conditions for having an Ostomy like crones colitis and cancer but rarely see Hirchsprungs. mentioned
Do others born with Hirchsprungs usually have reversals and thats why it is rarely heard of ?

My husband has an ileostomy. We noticed it and the area around it seemed to be protruding more and more every day for the past 2 weeks.
The ostomy nurses confirmed that he has a hernia. He cannot get in to see his doctor for that for another 2 weeks. What kind of an impact will this have on him? He is scheduled to have it reversed (reconnected) in September after he has finished chemo. Will this hernia present any complications in reconnecting

Considering the J-Pouch.
Hi, I had UC for 7 years and was in remission for 5 of those, then about 2 years ago i had the mother of all flare-ups, tried everything available and nothing worked, even the magical drug of infliximab - it didnt even work a bit. So i ended up having my colon removed, stoma created and stumpy left behind

Years of thinking all the discomfort was normal!!!!!
Hi All I have been suffering with pain since the age of 15, in my stomach with severe bloating, my back, hips, legs and when going to the toilet. I had lots of tests and was told it was growing pains or part of growing up. I also became tired very easily and found it difficult to drink alcohol and

Want to be a mother? Think about it now, rather than later!
I was never really all that maternal but never envisaged not having my own children one day. At 35 I decided it was now or never as time was ticking, it never seemed to be the right time before that. I came off the pill and though “if it happens”. It did happen, 6 months later I was pregnant but

ostomy frequency at night
I'm an Ostomate since 2010, 66 years old woman and wheelchair bound . I can't do much for myself , but learned to change my colostomy pouch with one hand . Because i'm only got liquid output i don't sleep much at night for fear of accidents . How can I overcome those problems ?

Sometimes it's ok just to be a patient
The British Medical Journal just came out with a heading that should have all patient’s jumping for joy - Let the patient revolution begin. As one of those patients who talks tirelessly about how important the role of the patient is in healthcare I was definitely one of those smiling when I heard about

Are Patients from Mars and Health Care Professionals from Venus? - Part 2
Having been told I was a nutty blogger type by the doctors in Part 1 I have to admit that my confidence took a little knock. I have subsequently though met with the chair of that strategy group who has vowed to ensure that patients really are at the heart of decision making. His vision helped restore

Hi i had surgery on March 6th this year to remove most of my my stomach and lower half of my Oesaphageous i had complications and infection.
surgery went well intially but then complications set in and i had further surgery (shark bite under both arms) and have been left with a stoma bag on my rooftop wound on my chest, has anyone else had the problem of a leaking wound at all?, recovery is very slow and pushing my chemo/radio further back

Surgery
I am having laparoscopy through left side of abdomen due to extensive adhesions. If tumours look benign and it's possible then they will be removed along with remaining ovary and cyst on left Fallopian tube, however consultant doesn't think this is possible and is of the belief I must have laparotomy
