The survival time of stoma patients generally varies from 5 to 10 years depending on the individual’s physical condition and the severity of the disease. A stoma patient is a patient who has excreted feces or urine through an opening in the abdomen after removal of the rectum, anal canal and bladder due to rectal or bladder cancer. If the cancer is in early stage, after surgery, the patient can survive for a long time, up to 10 years or even be cured. However, if the cancer is advanced, metastasis of cancer cells occurs, or secondary infection occurs after surgery, the patient’s survival time will be relatively short. Therefore, the key to improve survival time is early diagnosis and treatment and prevention of secondary infection. In addition, maintaining a good state of mind is helpful to prolong survival time. Patients should keep a good mood and pay attention to local hygiene to avoid secondary infections. Diet is recommended to eat liquid and semi-liquid food to ensure nutrition, such as high calorie, high protein and high vitamin food.
