Ostomy is an operation performed in the abdomen of human body. Because the human abdomen is the base of the small intestine, there is a lot of digestive juice in it. If the wound is handled carelessly, it is very likely to cause infection, and even the small intestine will digest the surrounding skin. Bring serious discomfort to the patient. Different from general postoperative care, ostomy care needs long-term or even lifelong care, which requires certain nursing skills. Therefore, medical staff will tirelessly teach patients and their families to replace the ostomy bag and chassis before leaving the hospital.
Because patients want to be more comfortable, professional knowledge is essential. We should carefully study the replacement process of ostomy chassis and ostomy bag, pay attention to hygiene during the replacement process, add nursing products according to our own situation, such as ostomy skin care powder, which can keep the skin dry and protect the skin from chassis glue and excrement, and products such as stickers, belts and leakage-proof cream can help prevent leakage. These consumables will indeed increase the cost of care, but ensure the health of the skin around the stoma and avoid the leakage of dirt.
Abdominal ostomy patients can get the same quality of life as ordinary people through high-quality ostomy nursing. You can even do proper fitness exercises to better solve your physical discomfort.
