Protruding stoma

I can not wear jeans or anything tight around my waist area because I feel my stoma protrudes to far out. Has anyone had and or has this same problem? And how did you rectify it? I would really appreciate any suggestions you may have.

There are very many positives to having a protruding stoma because it makes the wafer less likely to leak. If this is permanent and not a temporary stoma, you may one day look at getting it revised surgically. How far does it protrude?
