ostomy care

Ostomy care involves caring for an opening (stoma) created surgically to allow waste to exit the body. Daily tasks include gently cleaning the skin around the stoma, inspecting for irritation or irritation, and changing the ostomy pouch to collect waste. Proper hygiene, skin protection, and using the correct type of appliance help prevent leaks and skin issues. It’s important to stay informed about your specific type of ostomy and follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for care and troubleshooting. Regular monitoring and maintenance ensure comfort, skin health, and confidence in managing your ostomy.
