Expert Ostomy and Colostomy Nursing
Colostomy and Stoma Care refers to the medical support and routine hygiene required for individuals who have undergone a colostomy or any type of stoma surgery. It involves cleaning, maintaining, and managing the stoma site and its appliances, such as colostomy bags, to ensure patient comfort, prevent infections, and promote healing.
Stoma
A stoma is the visible opening on the abdomen created during a colostomy or similar surgeries (like ileostomy or urostomy). It requires specialized care to maintain cleanliness and avoid complications such as skin irritation, leakage, or infection.
Colostomy
A colostomy is a surgical procedure where a part of the large intestine (colon) is brought through the abdominal wall to create a new opening called a stoma. This opening allows waste (stool) to exit the body into a special colostomy bag instead of passing through the rectum.
Common reasons for colostomy surgery include:
- Colon cancer
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
- Diverticulitis
- Traumatic injury to the colon
Why Is Professional Stoma Care Important?
- Prevents skin infections and stoma complications
- Ensures hygiene and odor control
- Provides comfort and dignity for patients living with a colostomy
- Helps patients recover safely post-surgery

What You Should Know and Care After Colostomy
→ Keep the Stoma Area Clean and Dry
Gently clean around the stoma using warm water. Avoid alcohol-based or harsh products.
→ Change Ostomy Bags Regularly
Follow a routine to change the ostomy pouch before it gets too full or starts leaking.
→ Watch for Skin Irritation or Infection
Check the skin around the stoma daily. If you see redness, swelling, or unusual discharge, contact your nurse or doctor.
→ Maintain a Balanced Diet
Eat small, regular meals. Avoid foods that may cause gas or blockage like corn, nuts, or carbonated drinks.
→ Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of fluids, especially in Dubai’s hot weather, to prevent dehydration.
→ Wear Comfortable Clothing
Choose loose, breathable clothes. Avoid tight waistbands pressing on the stoma area.
→ Keep Emergency Supplies Ready
Always have extra ostomy bags, skin barriers, and cleaning supplies on hand.
→ Seek Professional Colostomy Care
Professional stoma care nurses can assist with bag changes, skin care, and overall health monitoring at home.
