This is pretty scary. Why would there be a bump in someone’s rectum? Is this also known as a polyp? -
Thank you for Replying to my post and providing good information. My family does not have a history of prostrate cancer as far as I know. Hopefully this isn’t something very serious. I’m going to call my urologist in the morning -
My urologist hasn’t done a digital prostrate exam but I’m calling my urologist tomorrow to she if she can examine me. There hasn’t been any recent sign of bloodLast edited by KyleP2112; 5 Apr 2021, 9:23 PM. -
Your PCP could do a DRE but Urologist better. Also have your PSA drawn even though you are younger than 50. The prostate is not hard or should not be. Do you have a family history of prostate cancer? Black men can have it at an earlier age. Very controversial as usually it is a slow growing cancer.... -
A little while back I used to get shorter tipped Foley catheters through my medical supply company but it doesn’t seem like they are around as far as I can tell. You can try searching online for different companies that sell catheters and maybe you could find somethingLeave a comment:

Which appliance do you use? How was your experience been using this while you’re up during the day with pants on? At some point soon in the not distant future I’m going to have to have this done. My bladder is so painful, will hold so little urine that it seems to constantly spasms with...Leave a comment:

Be careful of laying on your side too much though. While attempting to heal the wound on my right ichium I developed a wound on my left hip after an ingrown hair in too much pressure caused the wound. Still the wound on my hip is doing a lot better and the wound on my butt is much smaller. It’s...Leave a comment:

Thanks for all the good info. So the appliance goes over the stoma but does it stay on relatively securely? I worry about it coming off while I’m up and moving around or bending over while in the wheelchairLeave a comment:

Considering Urostomy/Ileal conduit Surgery
