Looking after your stoma during winter 

While winter presents it's challenges, you shouldn't have to struggle with your stoma this season.  

 

Looking after your health this winter:  

During winter it's especially important to keep yourself healthy to comfortably navigate the winter blues.

As your body changes, your ostomy solutions may need to change also. Managing a stoma during the winter months may require some additional adjustments to your routine, but with the right preparation you can stay comfortable and enjoy the winter season. Here is some of our advice: 

Stoma winter care advice:

Cold weather can impact the adhesive on your ostomy bag, making it harder to apply if not stored correctly.

To enhance tackiness, warm the bag under your arm before applying it to make it ready for comfortable use.

Stoma winter care advice:

 

 

During winter, skin is more susceptible to dryness due to moisture loss. This can lead to increased flakiness and irritation, which may pose challenges for your stoma area.

Remember to stay hydrated to help prevent further dry skin.

Stoma winter care advice:

Staying warm during winter is crucial and layering is key. Opt for loose, warm layers that won’t tug on your ostomy bag.

We also recommend wearing unrestrictive clothes to enable easy access for frequent bag changes.

If you experience any issues with your stoma during winter, don't hesitate to contact your stomal therapy nurse or health care professional for further guidance.
