What Is Temporary Colostomy Bag?

A temporary colostomy bag stool through a surgically created opening, called a stoma, from the large intestine to the outside of the body. Living with a temporary colostomy bag can present challenges. However, with proper care, a temporary colostomy bag allow you to maintain an active, healthy life.
The large intestine, or colon, is an organ that removes water and nutrients from partially digested food. It combines the remaining material into stool, or feces, and transports it to the rectum and anus.
Most people who have a colostomy wear a colostomy bag over the opening to collect stool. For some people, living with a colostomy bag is temporary after surgery to allow the small or large intestine to heal. For others, the use of a temporary colostomy bag may be permanent.

 

 

 

 

What Is Life Like With a Colostomy Bag?

A person with a colostomy bag will be able to continue with many of the same activities that they did before their surgery. Most other people will be unaware that someone uses a colostomy bag unless that person tells them.

People with a colostomy bag will need to avoid lifting heavy items and may need to visit the bathroom more frequently to manage their pouching system. Otherwise, a colostomy bag should not impact too much on someone's daily routine.

If a pouch is in position securely, an individual with a colostomy bag should be able to take part in most sports and physical activities, including running and swimming. Although people should be careful if taking part in contact sports, they may wish to wear a belt or guard for protection.

 

The first step in changing your colostomy bag, regardless of what products you use, should be to wash your hands thoroughly and set out all of your supplies so they are ready to use. Once you begin changing your bag, going and grabbing extra materials and supplies will be much more difficult.

Set up your workspace. This should include an old towel to change your bag over, tissues to wipe up any spills, and a container or bag for soiled materials.

Also, put all of your supplies for your new bag on your workspace. This will include things like a new adhesive piece and collection device, stoma powder or paste, a stoma measuring guide, and scissors.

When you are ready to start, empty your colostomy bag as you usually would. If you have a disposable device, you will remove the entire bag and dispose of the contents. If you have a drainable bag, you can empty it into a waste container, or some people like to sit on the toilet and empty their bag there.

Once the bag is emptied or removed, begin to remove the adhesive device. Pushing in on your skin at one corner of the device is the most gentle for your skin and stoma site. Gently pull the adhesive plate away from your skin until it's completely off. You may choose to use adhesive sprays or removers to help loosen the seal.

Place the old pouch and adhesive plate, along with any paste residue and cleaning supplies, into a bag for disposal. Sealed plastic bags, like sandwich or freezer bags, work well. Do not throw away the clip that closes the end of your colostomy bag. These are often considered reusable, and a new clip may not be included in your new bag and plate set.

At this point, some people step into the shower, but you can also clean your stoma site with water and a washcloth. You do not need special cleaners - in fact, special soaps and cleaners may cause more irritation. Plain, clean water is best. Let your skin dry completely before replacing your collection device, but take care to pat - not rub - your stoma site dry.

Measure your stoma with the measuring guide, and use the guide to cut an opening in the new adhesive plate. The opening you cut should be about 1/8 inch larger than your stoma.

Apply the skin protectant, adhesive, or paste of your choice as directed by the manufacturer of your colostomy bag supplies. There are many different types of colostomy appliances, and your manufacturer may have specific materials or instructions for that particular device.

How To Stop The Smell From a Colostomy Bag

Use an odour eliminator
As long as your stoma bag fits properly, there should only be an odour when you replace it. To tackle any scents that might escape when you change your colostomy bag, you can use an odour eliminator. Bio oneâ„¢, an enzyme cleaner and odour eliminator, is perfect for the job. It's vegan, eco-friendly and most importantly, non-toxic so it's totally safe for you to use.

Maintain good hygiene
When you have good personal hygiene, it's much easier to prevent any colostomy bag smells. Your hands come into contact with a lot of items, surfaces and even people which harbour germs and bacteria. It's time to start singing 'Happy Birthday' again while you wash them. Giving your mitts a good scrub for at least 20 seconds, before and after changing the bag, will help minimise odours. If you can't get to a sink and soap, keep a bottle of sanitiser with you. A quick squeeze should stop you transferring germs to your bag.
Eat a healthy diet
Nutrition is important for everyone. But when wearing a colostomy bag, it's usually even more vital. As tempting as grabbing some junk food on the way home might be, you have to stay mindful of what you eat. Certain foods may cause your stoma to smell more. And unfortunately, it's often the snacks we enjoy most.

See your doctor regularly
The best person to speak to about your stoma bag is always a doctor or medical professional. If you're having any persistent problems, get in touch with them straight away. Check your colostomy bag for leaks and if you find one, they can fix it for you. If you ever have concerns that your stool doesn't smell quite right, it could be a sign of a problem. Whoever is in charge of your care should monitor your stool to make sure everything is working properly – so always keep up with your regular health appointments too.
