Whether it is a colostomy, an ileostomy or a urostomy, hygiene remains simple. There is one thing that you need to be careful with and it is not to irritate the skin around your stoma when unnecessary. Just follow some rules precautions.
First, you need to know that your ostomy is insensitive but that it can bleed easily. It is therefore important not to rub, but to stamp it. You will have a stoma wash when you change equipment. Remember that your ostomy is a part of you, so a shower can do as much good as it does to you. Spilling water on your skin surrounding the stoma regenerates dead skin and offers great relief. After the shower, put a handkerchief above your stoma to avoid leaks and to let your skin dry before you install your new equipment to prevent fungi.
So before removing your equipment you need to prepare your equipment.
Materials needed:
- Mild soap (do not use liquid soap or scented soap)
- Non-sterile compresses or handkerchiefs
- Plastic bag or a garbage can
- Scissors
- Small sponge or small towels or fragrance free wet towels
- The new equipment
- The protective support blueprint (if it is not pre-cut)

Ostomates’ ladies share several concerns about the possibility of conceiving and delivering a healthy baby into the world. Fortunately, after several clinical trials, it has been demonstrated that an ostomy was not really a barrier to conception.
Even if an enlarged uterus does not interrupt the normal content of the bowel, one must consider the possibility that transit problems may develop during pregnancy, as in most pregnancies.
Constipation problems may develop in the final stages of pregnancy when the uterus becomes larger due to the weakening of the bowel peristalsis caused by an increased amount of progesterone.
Physical changes that accompany a pregnancy engender a temporary need for new equipment. It is important to consult a nurse specialized in ostomies so that she can provide you the necessary care and perform your monitoring throughout your pregnancy. During childbirth, a caesarean is often recommended but not compulsory.
In short, the ordeal that young ostomates women are experimenting is generally emotional. It is therefore important for them to feel supported by their family in this journey.

Foods that exacerbate gas production:

Urinary ostomy:
Like a digestive ostomy, it is crucial to drink plenty of water, a minimum of 1.5 to 2 liters per day and to have a balanced diet.
One consequence of a urinary ostomy is that your urine may become alkaline. This reality can lead to skin irritations. If this is your case, it is important to focus on foods that promote the acidification of urine, such as:
- Animal based foods: meat, fish, eggs
- Drinking a weakly mineralized water
