From the condition of having a conditionally wrecked biological system in your body like the bladder, there is the creation of stoma under your skin hence leakages of body waste are resultant. Therefore taking care of your skin condition involves taking extremely acute care in the use of the pouching systems in a bid to prevent skin problems that may come from leakages being in contact with the skin. These are the commonest and in a considerable way, quite effective in dealing with such kinds of body complications.
The use of these pouching systems should be carefully laid down, starting with knowing the correct sizes for use according to the skin stoma. Having a bigger pouching system gives a massive room for leaks to occur quickly and still a smaller one, may constrict your skin stoma hence digging it out and squeezing out leakages of the waste. Having the perfect fitting size, as advised by your medical professional, ensures all body wastes have a direct output in the ostomy pouching systems preventing resultant fat leakages.
The areas upon which the pouching system is to be placed upon should and must be clean and very dry and this is ensured by using relatively warm, clean water and later on, drying thoroughly after the clean-up to ensure the pouch healthily sticks around the stoma. It prevents skin irritations due to moisture from any leakages. Any moisture much irritates the skin and loosens the pouching system which provides room for leakages. This process is entirely vital and healthy for all patients with this kind of condition to ensure the pouching system does its work effectively.
When placing the pouch, you should ensure you do so in a way that will avoid any leakages under the skin, bringing about fatal results and irritations. For some specific skin conditions, the stoma is situated below the skin level and hence the obligation to use a convex pouching system that pushes it outwards and allows the extracted body waste to be dropped right into the bag and not trickling below the skin. Use of this convex pouching system without its prescription may be quite dangerous and fatal, especially if your condition does not require its use. Without any other prevailing conditions, the use of a standard pouching system should be useful in its work.
Since these pouching systems get used over a short period since waste removal is a continuous biological process in the body, they often need renewal. The pouching system, during removal, should involve the use of an adhesive remover to avoid damages to the areas faced with the skin condition. The adhesive remover should and must be prescribed by your health professional to ensure they assist you in any questions and clarifications needed for their use. The removal of the pouching system is a very key, and critical process as careless dealing with it may lead to fatal results from leakages.
Without forgetting leakages that may occur under your pouching system and as a result bring about adverse effects to the skin, a way has been sought to seal this problem. The use of a paste or rather a barrier hoop may be used to fill out any edges on your skin and uneven cracks around the stoma area of the skin. These go a long way to ensure the output of body waste is done correctly and deposited in the right place.
