Skin tone and texture varies from person to person, and you might find that the skin around your stoma is uneven. The result? Your stoma bag doesn\u2019t quite fit as snugly as you\u2019d like it to which can cause leaks. Here\u2019s what you can do about it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-purple-checkmark\">\n<li class=\"text-xl lg:text-xl\">We encourage you to stretch the skin, so the creases and folds are smooth when the bag is going on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"text-xl lg:text-xl\">An <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-purple-600-color\"><strong>eakin<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> freeseal<\/strong><\/mark><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>will mould around your stoma which is great for preventing leaks caused by creases and folds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-teal-600-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-71d94943577c3f35b21efcb2b852671e\">Your stoma is not in the best spot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-xl lg:text-xl\"><br>If your stoma is sitting too close to your bellybutton, scars or hipbone these scenarios can lead to leaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-teal-checkmark\">\n<li class=\"text-xl lg:text-xl\">As the name suggests,&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-teal-600-color\"><strong>eakin<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> freeseal<\/strong><\/mark> can help create that perfect \u2018seal\u2019 between the skin and your bag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-purple-600-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bcf4d68d201df558564d8249d8149cd6\">You&#8217;ve got a hernia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-xl lg:text-xl\"><br>A parastomal hernia appears when part of the bowel pushes through a weakness in the muscles around your stoma resulting in swelling or a bulge. This can alter the size and shape of your stoma and cause the peristomal area to be uneven and irregular making it a prime candidate for leaks. Here\u2019s how to make sure your stoma bag\u2019s fitting snugly when you\u2019ve got a hernia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-purple-checkmark\">\n<li class=\"text-xl lg:text-xl\">Changing\/reviewing your current bag is important if you develop a hernia as your body shape will change around the stoma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"text-xl lg:text-xl\"><strong style=\"\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-purple-600-color\">eakin<sup style=\"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\">\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0freeseal<\/mark><\/strong> <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-purple-600-color\"><\/mark>will help mould and flex around the stoma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-teal-600-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d131f5aa9bd4241dcd88769249f50a54\">You&#8217;re dealing with loose output<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-xl lg:text-xl\"><br>Stoma leaks often happen thanks to loose or liquid output. Medications, a change in diet, fluid intake and infection or illness can all contribute to this. Loose output can lead to an increased risk of dehydration, monitor for signs of dehydration and if you are concerned, reach out to your stoma nurse. You can try thickening up your output by adding bananas, marshmallows, natural yoghurts, and even jelly (yes, really) into your diet. Here\u2019s what else you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-teal-checkmark\">\n<li class=\"text-xl lg:text-xl\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-teal-600-color\">eakin<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> <\/mark><\/strong><mark style=\"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\" class=\"has-inline-color has-teal-600-color\"><strong>freeseal <\/strong><\/mark>provide everyday protection and security; they are the most absorbent seals on the market which is important if your output is loose to reduce the risk of leaks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-teal-600-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-54ab3dcd22595382f4cb48af72665cf8\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-purple-600-color\">Your stoma bag is the wrong size<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-xl lg:text-xl\"><br>Your stoma will shrink in the first 6 to 8 weeks, so it\u2019s important to use your measuring guide to make sure you\u2019re cutting your bag for an ideal fit. You will see the biggest stoma changes in the first 6-8 weeks but the size of your stoma can change at any stage of your stoma journey. If the hole\u2019s too big, you risk exposing your skin to output. If the hole\u2019s too small, it might not stick and stay in place.
