Hi, when I have had blockages I have had discomfort and stoma swelling for some time after the blockage. Its been a while since I had one, so I don't remember how long it lasted, but probably a week or maybe a little longer. If it has been more than a week, I would suggest reaching out to an ostomy nurse. It is reassuring that your output is normal.
