When you don’t feel uncomfortable with what, you may never pay more attention to your urine and feces. But if one day, you suddenly find that these two friends are different from their usual appearance, maybe they don’t come out smoothly, maybe they bring some blood, then you should pay special attention…
If it is only urinary tract infection, constipation and hemorrhoids, it is easy to say that there is no problem with benign diseases.
But there is another possibility, is cancer. Once diagnosed as cancer, treatment methods mainly include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, etc. However, if it is colorectal cancer too close to the anus, or bladder cancer with too many lesions, then patients need to undergo [stoma] surgery.
Is what an ostomy?
Is what an ostomy (also known as ostomy in some places)? Generally speaking, it is necessary to make a hole in the stomach, pull out a small piece of intestinal tract and sew it on the surface of the skin so that stool or urine can be discharged.
For ordinary people, defecation is a very simple thing, and the flushing of water in the toilet ends. However, this simplest and most basic thing is very difficult for friends who have made an ostomy, because the ostomy is not as controllable as the anus, so excrement will be discharged without subjective control.
Friends who have made stoma need time to adjust and adapt to changes in their bodies, and also need the support and care of relatives and friends around them.
With stoma, should we pay attention to what everyday?
Because excreta will be excreted without subjective control, special ostomy pockets need to be worn to collect excreta.
According to the replacement method of the bag, the ostomy pocket is mainly divided into one-piece type (the ostomy pocket is directly pasted on the skin and replaced as a whole) and two-piece type (composed of the chassis pasted on the skin and the bag that can be replaced separately). According to whether the bag needs to be emptied and reused, the bag can also be divided into open pockets and closed pockets.
In addition to the basic ostomy pocket, in order to prevent exudation of urine and feces and protect the skin around the ostomy, ostomy accessory products need to be used together. Leakage-proof plastic adhesive rings, elastic adhesive stickers, leakage-proof ointment, leakage-proof strips and other accessory products can prevent leakage. Ostomy skin care powder, skin protective film, glue remover, these accessories can protect the skin.
The replacement of ostomy pockets needs to follow three steps:
Step 1: Wear it correctly. Ensure that the stoma chassis and the skin on the belly are tightly attached to each other to prevent skin problems caused by defecation and urine leakage.
Step 2: Take it off gently. Use glue remover to gently remove the chassis to reduce skin damage.
Step 3: Check it carefully. Check whether the back of the chassis is clean and complete. Whether the skin is the same color as the skin on the other belly and is not damaged.

The Spring Festival is approaching. In order to make it easy for ostomy friends to enjoy the time together with their families and friends, Ding Dang specially combined with the world’s leading ostomy care brand [Kangle Bao] from Denmark to sum up some tips for ostomy friends during the Spring Festival.
Tip 1: How to eat during the Spring Festival?
During the Spring Festival, it is usually necessary to have dinner with relatives and friends. In fact, friends with stoma need not worry too much about the diet of stoma, but in order to reduce embarrassment, the following four kinds of food can be eaten as little as possible:
Foods prone to flatulence: beans, onions, cabbage, carbonated drinks, beer;
Foods prone to odor: fish, eggs, fried foods, garlic;
Foods prone to diarrhea: grapes, kiwi fruit, beer, wine, coffee, cola;
Foods that are easy to block and difficult to digest: rice cakes and Yuanxiao.
Tip 2: How to travel safely during the Spring Festival?
When visiting relatives and friends or traveling, it is recommended to use a closed pocket with a filter. The filter will reduce peculiar smell and bag swelling. The closed pocket can be thrown away when used up, thus reducing the trouble of cleaning.
You should change into a new ostomy pocket before going out, and take a spare ostomy pocket and some small garbage bags with you. If you need to change the ostomy pocket during the trip, tie the changed ostomy pocket in the small garbage bag and discard it tightly to reduce peculiar smell.
Tip 3: How to exercise during the Spring Festival?
During the Spring Festival, it is also necessary to carry out moderate exercise to enhance physical fitness. Elastic adhesive stickers can be used during exercise, which can reduce exudation of urine and feces caused by chassis movement.
