Question
Hello doctor,
The day before I was born, I did not have an anus, so I was admitted to the pediatric hospital for an ostomy. I have not had a follow-up visit since the surgery. And for the past two years, my anus every time I squat or exert pressure to go down, something pops out. I have no pain or bleeding. In recent years, the anus is also accompanied by odorless mucus that always wets the underwear and causes a bit of itching in the area between the anus and the private area. The doctor asked me to ask if there is mucus in the colostomy, what's wrong with the bunion? Is it possible that I am having an colostomy?

Answer
Hello,
To the question "What happens when the colostomy appears mucus, what's wrong with the bunions?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
After surgery NB should be re-examined. You need to provide more information: Where is your colostomy? Is your protrusion described as in the colostomy or natural anus, the mucus is coming out at the stoma position or the natural anus position? Your case should be monitored by the doctor who operated on you.
If you still have questions about colostomy prolapse, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
