Some patients may live with a stoma for 3 to 6 months after enterostomy surgery, while others may need to live with a stoma for life. Because the stoma is the intestinal mucosa protruding from the abdominal wall and the color is red, many patients worry that bathing will affect the stoma. In fact, the intestinal stoma itself is not a wound, and its function is to replace anal defecation; therefore, when the abdominal wound heals and the stitches are removed or the staples are removed after surgery, you can take a shower. You can wear the stoma bag and take a shower, or you can remove the stoma bag and take a shower, clean the stoma thoroughly and then replace it with a new one, without worrying about water flowing into the stoma, because the intestine has excretory function and water will be excreted. Of course, shower is the most suitable choice, a long time bath can affect the adhesion of the stoma bag chassis. Be sure to pay attention to the temperature of the water during the shower to avoid scalding the stoma, as the mucous membrane of the stoma has no sensation.
