Everyday Ostomy Terms You

Whether you or a loved one has an ostomy, one thing is certain, there is a lot to learn. It can be confusing to say the least when you first start caring for your ostomy. Your nurses and doctors will be using terms you may have never heard before. They may reference things you can't even picture because you have never seen them before. I have listed out some very basic ostomy terms to get you familiar with some of the supplies. Be patient with yourself and never be afraid to ask questions. These are just a few of the terms you will hear and there are many others. United Ostomy Association of America has a great guide for new ostomates that I highly recommend. Ostomy Vocabulary Pouching System: Includes the skin barrier and the pouch. Options are a one-piece ostomy system or a two-piece ostomy system. Colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy all require a pouching system. Ostomy Pouch: Collects output from your stoma and is worn on the side of the body. Pouches are available in drainable or closed. A one piece ostomy pouch will have the skin barrier as a part of the unit. A two piece ostomy pouch will not have the skin barrier connected and you will need to buy the skin barrier separately. Also known as an ostomy bag. Skin Barrier: The part of the ostomy pouching system that fits directly around the stoma. Protects the skin from output while holding the ostomy pouch in place. Skin barriers are also called wafers or flanges. Convex Skin Barrier: Used for flush, flat, or retracted stomas to help the stoma empty into the ostomy pouch by pressing the peristomal skin down and allowing the stoma to reach the inside of the pouch effectively. Convex barriers or inserts curve like a bell and can help uneven skin form a complete seal with the ostomy pouch Filter: Allows gas to escape from the pouch and helps to absorb odor. Available in a variety of styles. Stoma Caps: Small closed pouches that can be worn briefly while showering or during intimate moments. Stoma caps are not meant to replace your normal everyday ostomy pouch. CHAsDYab

You Need The Flu Shot This Season

The flu shot will help protect you from this virus during the season. Not only will it keep you healthy and get you through the whole year but it is also a good idea to get yourself vaccinated if you are around children and elderly people. If you fall ill, there is a big chance that people around you fall ill too and this could get dangerous for those who do not have a good immune system. Those Who Are At Risk Children and senior citizens suffering from various diseases related to the lungs or heart and smokers are often most at risk. A simple case of flu could lead to ear infections, bronchitis and even pneumonia in these people. In fact, those over the age of 65 should also consider taking the pneumonia vaccine during this season. Even though a healthy individual may only suffer from this virus for a few days and then get back to routine, one dose a year will not do you any harm and it could help protect the people around you. Only those who are allergic to the vaccine or any of t...
