Herniation Thru Ab Fistula? Posted: 06-26-05 11:47am
My boyfriend of 8 yrs has had crohn's
since he was 16, we're both 25 now. He's
been on all the meds, had a resection, is
on his 2nd ileostomy, had bouts with
spondylitis and osteoporosis, has had and
still has perianal fistulas, fissures,
anal prolapse, and most recently developed
3 fistulas around his stoma.
I've been trying to find info on a current
situation we're having but have had no
luck. Of the 3 fistulas around his stoma,
2 closed up and the 3rd started to get
some bright pink tissue bulging from it.
His ge said it was granulation tissue.
But its been about 2 weeks since then and
the bulge has gotten more prominent and,
in fact, looks exactly like a miniature
stoma (about the diameter of a pen). It
even has a hole in the ctr where it
empties pus-like stuff every now and then.
I've been trying to find images of
granulomatous tissue/fistula healing to no
avail. Has anyone had an experience like
this or any resources to suggest?
