6:05 Frequently asked questions
Having a colostomy affects a patient’s life both emotionally and physically. When someone has a permanent stoma bag fixed if they tackle the situation gracefully there will never be any kind of embarrassment. For this, they can take the help of Ostomy associations or self-help groups.
Eating cabbage, broccoli, eggs, cheese, etc., can produce gases in the stomach and can cause a smell in the stoma.
You should clear the stoma bag when it is filled with half or more than half as there are chances that the bag might leak if not emptied in time. It is necessary that you regularise your eating habits so that you’ll know the time you need to empty the bag every day.
In Sigmoid or left side stoma the frequency of stool is normal which is easy to manage. But, in transverse or right-side stoma the frequency of stool is higher.
There is no restriction on what clothes you should wear as the stoma bags today are very advanced and flexible. A person with a stoma bag can travel freely after a stoma is healed.
There are waterproof and washable stoma bags available therefore you won’t have any difficulty in bathing.
