You will likely have been advised at the time of your surgery whether it would be a temporary measure or a permanent one. Stoma reversal is a common procedure for certain types of stoma, with some unable to be reversed. Many people do feel having a stoma often significantly improves quality of life due to the reduction or removal of the symptoms which lead to the surgery. Any stoma care will last only as long as it is required.

While initially it may take some getting used to, adjusting to living with your stoma bag can minimise disruptions and improve your quality of life. Stoma care can help you recover your independence after surgery so that you can continue doing the things you love.

Yes, it’s fine to have a bath or shower with a stoma, either with your stoma bag on or off. You may prefer having your bag on during a bath just in case your stoma is active and any leaks occur.

Many people are concerned that others will notice a smell from a stoma, but there should only ever be an odour from your stoma when your Care Professional is changing or emptying your bag. If there’s an unpleasant smell while the bag is in place, this might mean there is a leak, or the bag may be faulty. If you’re worried about odours from your stoma bag, your clinical team or your Care Professional will be able to give you help and advice.
