Symptoms of Colostomy
Common signs that you may need Colostomy include persistent pain, discomfort, or symptoms that have not responded to non-surgical treatment. A surgeon can evaluate whether surgery is the right option for you.
How is Colostomy Diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound), and sometimes blood tests. Your surgeon will review all reports before recommending Colostomy.
Treatment Options: Non-Surgical vs Surgical
Depending on severity, doctors may first recommend non-surgical approaches such as medication or physiotherapy. If these are not effective, Colostomy is advised.

Colostomy is typically performed under anaesthesia. The surgeon may use laparoscopic (minimally invasive) or open techniques depending on the case. The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours.

Most patients return to normal activities within 2–6 weeks after Colostomy. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions including diet, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.
