In today's 'Wednesday Wisdom', we're talking about parastomal hernias. It's worth noting that hernias are very common, in fact up to 70% of ostomates will develop one. They occur when the edges of the stoma come away from the muscle, allowing abdominal contents (usually a section of bowel) to bulge out. Parastomal hernias usually occur gradually and often increase in size over time. It is rare that they cause major complications, and the development of a hernia doesn't mean you always need surgery (often you don't).

There are many things that can contribute to the development of a parastomal hernia:
- Straining (this can happen with heavy lifting or during strenuous activities)
- Infection at the site of the stoma or abdominal wound
- Abdominal muscles weakening with age
- Coughing and sneezing
- Poor stoma siting
- Emergency surgery
- Being overweight
- Lack of appropriate exercise

Most parastomal hernias do not require surgery and the first line of treatment is to wear a firm stoma support garment. There is a wide selection to choose from in the form of belts, girdles, pants and boxershorts.

If a parastomal hernia is causing pain, becoming unmanageable or you are admitted to hospital with a complication, then surgery might be considered.

One difficulty I have met as an ostomate is having to deal with a bag that gets heavy due to frequent output, especially in the case of an ileostomy. That time when you're out somewhere in a place you're not familiar with where the comfort rooms are yet😟and the urgent need to get to one as much as possible. So what I did was customize a colostomy cover with a strap from the sample I followed which I would like to share here, you might be interested in making one for yourself and your loved ones...

This one I made for myself and have been using for years so can confidently go out without caring so much when my bag gets heavy 😊

I came across this post and it really took me back. John Paul, due to a lack of resources has to connect his stoma to a washing machine hose. His output then travels down the hose into a 4 litre water container that he empties. ⁣
⁣
He then goes to school with it all in his school bag. Now this is a young lad who has the same condition but lives in a place where he doesn’t have the same access to products like mine and it breaks my heart. It really makes me think about how lucky we are to have basic health care and support that we take for granted. ⁣
⁣
I won’t moan about a minor leakage again. Picture yourself in his situation. ⁣

How to use stoma paste.

02/07/2020

Stoma powder is a non-medicated powder that is designed to absorb moisture from raw or broken skin surrounding a stoma. ... Stoma powder is to be used around a stoma which is the result of an ostomy surgery. Stoma powder can be used with a colostomy, ileostomy, and/or urostomy.

We have a common misconception that a stoma paste works as a glue. It is not. Think of it as a putty especially when craftsmen puts a glass in a window. It holds the window into the frame.

Technically, they are skin barrier molded around stomas OR skin surface irregularities to provide protection and a sealing surface.

The name PASTE does not accurately describe its main function because it is not a GLUE to stick the WAFER to the skin.

The paste provides protection from leakage and must be used sparingly.

There is a wide variety of products manufactured for colostmy care,but most of it are very expensive for most Filipinos to sustain. Unlike other countries most Filipinos would only resort to making improvised colostomies out of plastic and bottle caps,or sometimes infant diapers fastened with surgical tapes. There are a few associations in the Philippines who tackle to assist colostomy patients and most of the supply they donate are from charitable institution and donors abroad. Its not all the time that supplies are available with the growing number of colostmy patients sometimes you would only get either a bag without a wafer,a wafer without a bag or sometimes what you get aren't always according to what you need or the size your stoma, but still Filipinos are so patient and thankful in receiving what so ever they might get and find means so they can make use of it.Compared to other countries where you can get free samples from manufactures,and there is enough supply, here in the country even those in the middle class are struggling and can't hardly sustain the need for colostmy supplies. Most charities abroad donates to institutions in Luzon .I remember one time i was able to ask fo assistance but it was difficult to get supplies from a government hospital there, if you donot have a relative who will pick up, and the shipping is more so expensive.That is why i am hoping there could be one for Negros .
A great number of ostomates in the groups i am a member of are baby's,kudos to the patience of the mother's who always find means inspite the poverty and difficulties still beating odds to take care of their babies

What is a stoma and how does it work?
A stoma is an opening on the abdomen that can be connected to either your digestive or urinary system to allow waste (urine or faeces) to be diverted out of your body. It looks like a small, pinkish, circular piece of flesh that is sewn to your body. ... Your stoma has no nerve endings so you should feel no pain from it.

Ileostomy:
A stoma is created at the end of the ileum, which is the lowest section of the small intestine, right before the large intestine. Output is liquid. Skin around the stoma needs regular protective measures. What are yours?

30/06/2020

Colostomy: A surgically created opening in the abdomen in which a piece of the colon (large intestine) is brought outside the abdominal wall to create a stoma through which digested food passes into an external pouching system. A colostomy is created when a portion of the colon or re**um is removed due to a disease process or damaged area of the colon.

Temporary colostomy: May be required to give a portion of the bowel a chance to rest and heal. When healing has occurred, the colostomy can be reversed and normal bowel function restored.

Permanent colostomy: May be required when a disease affects the end part of the colon or re**um.

Good day Friends! I wanted to convey to you my purpose of creating my colostomy Awareness page. I have been an ostomate or a person living with a colostomy for almost 4 years .I have to resort to this operation because of a digestive medical condition.
For 4 years I have had my ups and downs as an ostomate.I know 4 years is a short span of time compared to those who have been ostomates all their life. I am not an expert in this things, i too have so much to discover and learn. I just wish to make an awareness regarding this condition for those who might find it beneficial. I know there are those who are like me who never in life did imagine to be living with a colostomy.
In every 10 people i would meet around two to three will have an idea of what a colostomy is and the rest might have never heard about it. I have met people who went in through this operation not knowing what a colostomy bag is ,how to use it,how to manage an ostomy even right after going out of the hospital,where to buy affordable colostmy supplies ,where to avail them and one among the toughest part is how to financially sustain the medical demands that this condition requires.A great number of children born with various digestive medical condition in our country are ostomates.People with bowel and intestinal cancers and digestive disorders has continued to live because of a Colostomy. Some have lived normally and have continued to be working and doing the things they usually do by choosing to live with a colostomy.But unfortunately i am one of those ostomates where my colostomy has gotten some complications which has inhibited me to move and do things like a normal individual can indulge into,i have to choose activities that will only be favorable to my condition or else i will get into much more complication.I have questioned God for some time,why me, see i cannot work when i have a family to look after too.So much people in my mind i have to take care of, I kept searching and praying where can i start,and i cannot start from what i do not have.I kept searching but maybe all along this thing that inhibits me from doing what i want ,and has deprived me of so many opportunities, this thing I consider defeat, I am thinking of starting from here,see i dont not have much possessions to start with. Not everyone will have the patience reading this but thank u so much to the very few people who responded and cared to like this Page. Its like you are the doors God has opened for me,to venture into the things and make reality what i long have in mind.thank u so much for caring to like the page and may in time you find it a blessing in the life ahead.Salamat gid kaayo.♥️
