Is Your Stoma Protected?
The 4 most common ways to hurt your stoma and how to avoid them.
1. Children and pets jumping on you
You walk through the door and when your grandchildren or dog comes charging at you to give you love and you don’t reciprocate with open arms because you’re afraid of hurting your stoma. Instead you take a defensive stance and hold out your arms to keep a safe distance between you and your most beloved..
2. Seat belts
How many times have you got into a car and carefully positioned the seatbelt away from your stoma, just to have it spring back to rub and chafe your ostomy with every little movement, making every car ride uncomfortable at best and a down right hazard at worst? Of course they sell “pillows” that attach onto the seatbelt, but why announce to the world you have a stoma that requires special padding for the car ride.
3. Accidental bumps
So your doctor advises you to go out and do fun things, to enjoy life as you normally would. Whether it's camping in the great outdoors or taking ballroom dance lessons, physical activity is encouraged. But just thinking of all the extra ways you can accidentally bump into things and hurt your stoma is enough to keep you confined to the home.
4. Belts worn around the waist
For those of you that have your stoma right at your waist line, you put your ostomy in harm's way every time you wear a belt. You’re then left with either pulling your pants way up above your ostomy, or cinching your belt way down under your stoma, but then forced to live with the bulge of output buildup above the belt line.
