Suggest Treatment For Accumulation Of Waste In Intestine After Colostomy
About a year ago my mother had a colonostophy The test, not the major surgery. She was 80 years old at the time. The colon test revealed that she has a condition in her upper bowl that is like an accumulation due to constipation over the years and is common in older people. My mom s Dr. told me the name of the condition but I forgot it.
