Hi, sorry for another post regarding my bowels, I hate that my life seems to revolves around them.
I’ve been using peristeen for 6 or 7 years. When I started the nurse said 750ml of water each time and every second day should do the job. But for 3 or 4 years now I’ve been using it every day, and the last few years I’ve been pumping a full bag, letting it wash out, not feeling empty so doing another bag and every day has now become 3 or 4 full bags.
Does anyone else do this, will I be doing harm. I’ve noticed this last week that there seems to be what looks like skin/lining, I’m guessing of my rectum or bowel coming out with the first bag. I’ve had some mucus coming out for years. But never any blood. Maybe I should also say I’ve never passed anything solid with peristeen, it’s always been just dirty water.
How does this compare to other folks experiences with peristeen.?
