Suggest treatment for rectal stump with colitis
Patient: I had a iliostomy about 16 years ago. They left the rectal stump on but since then i have found out that the stump has colitis in it so i wont be able to reconect. The worry i have is the doctor told me 16 years ago that i would need my stump removed as it is slowly dying and there would be a high risk of developing cancer in the stump and anus.please help as i am worried that i still have this stump after 16 years. Kind regards Paul. Doctor: You must visit you physician for the solution. You must not neglect this. Whatevervusaid are actually true. Chances of cancer cn not be excluded. Other did like UC or CD can be suspected, So upload your health records for details.
