Questions about living with a stoma?
Here you’ll find information about everyday life and comfort as an ostomy user.
What is an ostomy?
An ostomy is a surgically created opening in the abdomen that allows stool or urine to exit the body when the digestive or urinary system can’t function normally. Output is collected in an ostomy pouch, and the three main types—colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy—are defined by where the diversion is made.
How do I correctly use my ostomy product?
Clean and dry the skin around the stoma before applying your ostomy product. Make sure your ostomy bag/baseplate fits closely around the stoma to help prevent leakage and skin irritation. If you are unsure about the steps, a stoma care nurse can guide you.
How do I know which ostomy product is right for me?
The most suitable product depends on your stoma type, skin condition, body shape, and daily activities. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, so it is best to review your needs together with a healthcare professional.
What should I do if I experience skin irritation or redness around the stoma?
Skin irritation can be caused by leakage or moisture. Make sure the skin is clean and dry and that the bag/baseplate opening is the correct size. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional for advice.
How often should I change my ostomy appliance?
The frequency depends on the type of ostomy and the product used. In general, the ostomy bag/baseplate are changed every 1–3 days. Your nurse can help you find a routine that works best for you.
Can I continue my normal daily activities with an ostomy?
Yes. Most people with an ostomy can return to normal activities such as work, exercise, travel, and showering. Using the right product and changing it regularly can help you feel secure and confident in your daily life.
