I don’t have a butthole and I poop out of my abdomen. AMA.
I have an ostomy and I poop out of my abdomen. Unlike traditional ostomies (most commonly ileostomies, colostomies, and urostomies), I have what is called a continent ileostomy so I don’t have to wear a bag. Instead, I drain it with a catheter. It has a name that makes people giggle — a Kock pouch.
I have had nine surgeries total. A loop ileostomy, four end ileostomies, an ileorectal anastomosis where your ileum (small bowel) is attached to your rectum (no colon), two continent ileostomies, and one major surgery where my bowel twisted on itself several times and started to die.
During all this I had my colon, rectum, anus, and half of my ileum removed (that’s the end of your small bowel). My appendix was gone with it. My bum hole is stitched up and colloquially called a Barbie butt.
Anyway, I have fun anatomy, ask me anything!
