What is a Stoma?

A stoma is an artificial opening created on the abdominal wall following surgery, trauma or an illness, that can be connected to either your digestive or urinary system to allow waste (urine or faeces) to be passed out of your body (and into a special bag) when this is no longer possible through natural routes. A stoma has no nerve endings, so you should feel no pain from it.

The main types of stoma include ileostomy (opening of the small bowel to by-pass the large bowel), colostomy (opening from the large bowel to by-pass the anus) and urostomy (opening from the ureters to by-pass the bladder).

When is a Stoma Necessary? care at home

You may need a stoma if you have bowel or bladder conditions such as:

– Bowel cancer
– Crohn’s disease;
– Ulcerative colitis;
– Abdominal trauma;
– Diverticulitis;
– Rectal-sigmoid carcinoma;
– Bladder cancer
– Prostate cancer

The skin around the stoma must be treated with the utmost care and the appropriate medical containment devices must be applied in order to allow you to carry out a normal everyday life. The skin around the stoma is always exposed to highly irritating substances and should therefore be cleaned regularly and monitored carefully. private stoma nurse near me
