Things You Must Know About Wearing Ostomy Bag.
A. Choose the right ostomy care products 1. In the early stage of the operation, it is recommended to use transparent, carbon-free films and open pockets. During the recovery period, you can choose opaque ostomy bags. 2. If the excrement is thin, try to use open pockets. If the excrement is thick, you can choose closed or open pockets. In addition, patients with a flat abdomen should choose a flat chassis, and patients with a flush stoma and retracted stoma should choose a convex chassis and waist belt. The stoma is ischemic or necrotic, and a two-piece transparent ostomy bag should be used. B. Remove the base of the stoma gently to avoid skin damage Wearing an ostomy bag is a long-term thing, and for patients with sensitive and fragile skin, frequent pasting and repeated removal of the chassis will not only make the skin more fragile, but also cause ulceration. Therefore, be careful and slowly remove when replacing, avoid direct pulling, the action must be gentle, and at the same time, use the chassis adhesive remover. C. Do not use hydrogen peroxide, alcohol and other disinfectants to clean the stoma. The skin around the normal stoma is just like the anus. It is enough to keep it clean and dry. It does not need to be sterilized. Long-term use of disinfectant to wipe the skin can kill harmful bacteria and also kill the normal flora of the skin and mucous membranes, which leads to weakened skin resistance, and even causes the surrounding skin to become too dry and brittle, which affects the viscosity of the chassis adhesive. And when the chassis is removed, it will cause avulsion damage to the skin. The skin around the stoma does not need to be cleaned with a disinfectant solution. Daily cleaning and care can be done by scrubbing with neutral soap and ordinary water, gently scrubbing from the inside and outside, and let it dry naturally. D. Avoid cutting the center hole of the stoma chassis too large. I believe that most of the ostomy friends will encounter the problem of wearing the chassis in the ostomy care just after the operation, and cutting the center hole of the chassis is one of the very important steps. The large and small cut of the central hole has a great influence on the stoma and surrounding skin. If the diameter is too large, the skin around the stoma will be in contact with excrement for a long time, causing it to be damaged; if the cut hole is too small, it will cause friction on the stoma nipple Bleeding; therefore, the stoma should be measured more accurately, and a suitable ostomy bag chassis should be cut according to the size and shape of the stoma, generally greater than 1-2mm in diameter. E. Standard wear of stoma...View > -

Stoma classification:
Clinically, according to the different lesions and surgical sites, stoma can be divided into: Colostomy With 1- 1.5 cm higher than the abdominal wall and a diameter about 3 – 5 cm, the colostomy is usually located at left hypogastrium, and is a permanent stoma for the colon or sigmoid. The feces excreted from here is usually shaped. Ileostomy With 1.5- 2.5 cm higher than the abdominal wall and a diameter about 2- 2.5 cm, the ileostomy is usually located at the right hypogastrium, and is the opening of the distal ileum in the abdominal wall. The feces excreted from here is usually liquid and rich in digestive enzymes causing strong thrill to the surrounding skin. Temporary Stoma The stoma is located in transverse colon segment, that is, the epigastrium, and is double-barrel or loop stoma with large appearance. The proximal stoma excretes loose stool, while the distal stoma excretes only a small amount of intestinal mucus. Temporary stoma plays the role of shunt and decompression, which can be closed when the diseases of the lower segment of the intestinal heal. Urostomy The urostomy is usually located at the right hypogastrium, but sometimes can be determined by the doctor according to the actual situation of surgery. Use a segment of the free ileum to replace the bladder. With 2-3 cm higher than abdominal wall and a diameter of about 2 – 2.5 cm, the stoma is located at abdominal wall. After surgery, urine is discharged through this stoma.View > -

What issues should be paid attention to stoma care in winter?
In winter, many ostomy friends often feel dry and itchy skin, which also has a certain impact on the sticking of the ostomy bag, especially the elderly. This is mainly due to the cold weather and dry air in winter, which reduce the secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat on the skin surface of the stoma, which in turn makes the skin lack of sebum and sweat and become dry and itchy.View > -
