[TW] Other ppl here with a stoma?
Yeeeaah so I’m 18 y.o. and last summer (as a 17 y.o.) I got an ileostomy (non reversible). I just wanted to know whether there are any other ppl here that are dealing with similar things. If so do you customize your fits/do anything fashion-wise differently cuz of the stoma/pouch?
[TW medical terms and things that are prolly considered disgusting by most people (i think i’m desensitized)] explanation of what stoma is (taken from clevelendclinic):
!“stoma is a surgically created opening on the outside of your body that connects to an organ on the inside….You might have a stoma in your abdomen if part of your intestine or urinary tract isn’t working properly and you need a different way for waste to come out.” Btw be careful when googling this as you may be shown pictures of the stoma itself!<
