Hi,

With the info given by you, you are suffering from parastomal hernia which is common after colostomy. This is a defect around the colostomy that may induce sometime incarceration of parts of intestines there causing all these complaints you have mentioned. At your case incarceration is not complete and resolves without surgery when abdominal pressure decrease. Anyway, to prevent any worsening of your situation, you should talk with your doctor for intervention as a final solution.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Julinda Maksuti, General Surgeon
