Stoma bag

Is there anything worse than going to the bathroom in a public toilet and forgetting to bring your medical waste bag or stoma bag? Well, for those of us who have had a stoma created, this is a constant worry. A stoma is an opening in the abdomen that is created when part of the digestive system is removed. This opening allows waste to pass out of the body. A stoma bag is a small, waterproof bag that is attached to the stoma and collects the waste.

I have had a stoma for over 10 years now, and I have learned a few things about how to live with it. One of the most important things I have learned is to always be prepared. I always carry a spare stoma bag with me, just in case. I also keep a few in my car and at work. This way, I am always prepared for any eventuality.

Another important thing I have learned is to be discreet. I don't want people to know that I have a stoma, so I always try to be discreet when I change my bag. I usually go to the bathroom stall and close the door. I also try to be as quiet as possible when I am changing my bag.

Living with a stoma can be a challenge, but it is possible to live a full and happy life. With a little preparation and discretion, you can live with a stoma without anyone knowing.

• Here are a few tips for living with a stoma:
• Always carry a spare stoma bag with you.
• Be discreet when you change your bag.
• Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor or nurse about any concerns you have.
• There are many resources available to help you live with a stoma.

With a little help, you can live a full and happy life with a stoma.
