Libreng Donation na Colostomy Bag 2022

 Alam mo ba ang size ng iyong bituka, may maliit may malaki o may nakaluwa, nagbibigay po kami ng mga libreng donation at dahil limitado ito ay mabibigyan lang ng 10 pieces para may magamit kayo sa kasalukuyan

Napakahirap din po tumanggap ng mga donation galing ibang bansa at kapag may dumarating ay pinamimigay po ito sa mga mahihirap.

Hwag na huwag niyo po ititinda ang mga bag at marami ang nangangailangan. 

Kung kailangan po ng colostomy bag, magtungo po sa aming facebook page at mag message sa mga volunteer nurses at paantay na sumagot sila. Salamat po.

How can I stop my colostomy bag from smelling?

 

 

 

Check Your diet

Some foods are particularly likely to cause a smell. You could try reducing or cutting out

• Onions
• Cabbage, sprouts and similar vegetables
• Beans
• Strongly spiced foods, or foods with a lot of garlic
• Beer and other gassy drinks
• Very rich or fatty foods

You may need to try out various foods to find which ones cause wind for you.

Use Anti odour products

There are products that can help to mask the smell from a colostomy. They are often liquids, and you use a few drops each time you change your bag. These are a last resort, because you shouldn't have this problem if at all possible. But some people have a lot of difficulty finding the perfect fit from a colostomy bag and these products can then help.

Select Correct Type of colostomy bag

There are many different types of colostomy bag. Different ones suit different people. So you might have to try a few before you find the one that suits you best. Some have charcoal filters built into them. Charcoal is good for absorbing smells and the filter lets gas escape from the bag so that it does not become too full and uncomfortable. If the bag fits properly you should only be aware of the smell when you are changing or emptying the bag.

Stomas are different shapes and sizes. So, some bags may not fit you and others will. If the bag does not fit properly you are likely to have problems with smell and possibly leakage. You could get in touch with a stoma nurse at your hospital. Specialist stoma nurses can get different types of bags for you to try. And they will help you fit them.

 

Inspecting Your Stoma for any Problems

Checking a stoma

At each pouch change, check your stoma for color, shape and function. Watch for stenosis, prolapse or swelling. Urostomates should be on the lookout for crystal formation. Be conscious of any stoma complication.

Bleeding stoma
A bleeding can occur with rubbing of the stoma because the mucous membrane, out of which the stoma is formed, is highly vascular. The bleeding usually stops quickly otherwise, see a doctor.

Can a stoma get cut?
Cuts or lacerations of the stoma can occur and some can be quite serious. Since a stoma has no sensory nerves, it can get without causing no pain. Causes of stoma laceration can include
1) shifting of wafer or pouch
2) too small an opening of the pouch
3) incorrect pouch application etc

How should a stoma be protected?
Protect stoma's from direct physical blows, tight clothing and belt buckles.
