Convatec Stomahesive paste 56gm

The skin around your stoma (called the peristomal skin) should look and feel like the rest of the skin on your belly.

Your stoma should be shiny, wet and red, much like the inside of your mouth.

Stomas vary in size and shape from person to person.

After surgery your stoma will be swollen. The swelling will go down in time and your stoma will get smaller.

You may have temporary tubes put in place to keep the urine flowing freely after surgery.

A stoma is not sensitive to the touch but may bleed slightly if irritated or rubbed. This bleeding is normal but if it continues or if you see blood in your urine, contact your doctor.

It is important to keep urine off your skin to help prevent skin irritation.
