Ostomy Care Instructions

Living with an ostomy, adapting to the changes, caring for the ostomy, and living a normal life: all of these can be challenging.
Immediately after ostomy surgery, the stoma remains swollen, which will shrink back to normal size within weeks. There are a few things to keep in mind if you are looking forward to protecting your stoma:

• Use the right size and fit of the ostomy pouch to prevent leakages.
• Clean the ostomy pouch more often to eliminate odor.
• Take care of the stoma skin to keep away irritation or infection.
