A member asked:
I have a colostomy and a lot of pain and swelling in my lower right side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Parastomal hernia: If your colostomy is set in your lower right side, you may have a hernia around your colostomy. A parastomal hernia will cause pain and swelling or bulge around your ostomy. Go to see your doc. A ct scan of your abdomen would be helpful to evaluate your symptoms. Like all hernias, a parastomal hernia should be repaired.
