Hello my fellow jpouch-ers!
This past week or so I've been experiencing painful itching and burning (mainly when using the bathroom). It almost feels like a cut or erosion. I wasn't too concerned at first, thinking the area was just sore from excessive wiping and rubbing. But it hasn't let up any. There have also been a few times I have noticed a small amount of blood in my stool/when wiping.
Anyone have any clue what this may be? Has anyone else experienced this?
I did a very small amount of research and came across the term "cuffitis." Does this sound like that?
Not sure what to do/think here.
My last surgery, ostomy takedown, was 5 months ago.
