How can I take care of the leakage of the stoma base and handle it properly?

1. The detachment of the stoma base may be due to the failure to clean the skin around the stoma, resulting in unstable and unstable adhesion, which can easily lead to gaps and leakage.

Solution:

① Train in advance on stoma care;

② Choose a simple and easy to operate ostomy bag;

③ Suggest choosing to use an open pocket.

2. Overfilling the liquid or gas in the ostomy bag can also cause the rubber tray to fall off and leak.

Solution:

① Pay attention to emptying the ostomy bag in a timely manner;

② Reduce the consumption of foods that are prone to gas production, and for those with excessive exhaust, try to choose ostomy bags with charcoal chips.

3. If the pocket is used for a long time and not replaced in a timely manner, it is more likely to cause leakage.

Solution:

It is recommended to replace the ostomy bag every 3-5 days, and try not to use it for more than 7 days. If leakage occurs during this process, the ostomy bag should be replaced in a timely manner.

4. Improper selection of pocket making can also lead to leakage.

Solution:

If there is a depression in the area where the stoma is covered and pasted, it is recommended to use a two-piece convex bottom plate and wear a waist belt. If necessary, anti leakage cream or anti leakage rings can be used to elevate the stoma area before pasting the stoma bottom plate.

5. Changes in body shape during this process can affect the adhesion and firmness of the stoma base.

Solution:

Being overweight or underweight can lead to weak adhesion of the stoma base. It is recommended to maintain an appropriate weight and use leak proof cream or other products to specially treat the stoma area.

6. The position of the stoma is not suitable for fixing the stoma base, making it difficult to adhere.

Solution:

Before surgery, corresponding stoma evaluation work should be done, and then a suitable stoma base should be selected based on the condition of the stoma and the skin around the stoma.

7. Complications at the stoma site can affect the difficulty of adhering the stoma base.

Solution:

Timely prevention and treatment of complications, and solving the problem of complications, can greatly avoid the problem of stoma leakage.
