Having a stoma might require some adjustments initially, but it shouldn’t significantly limit your daily activities. If you’re active, you can still enjoy most sports and hobbies. While extreme contact sports are best avoided, there are special support garments, caps, and bags designed for stoma wearers during physical activity.
For travel, post surgery, you are at a higher risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and should consult with your doctor before any air travel and obtain a travel certificate. Remember to pack enough supplies for the time away and be prepared for more bag changes while travelling.
Adjusting to life with a stoma may be daunting at first. But, with the right support, stoma care will become a part of your daily routine while you enjoy a fulfilling life. Support from a private stoma nurse can help ease this transition so you can get back to feeling like yourself again.
