Hi, I am hoping for suggestions from the experts. My name is Roxanne, I am the wife of Doug, who has a urostomy (he is also parapeligic and confined to a chair).
Recently we have been having a lot of leakage. Everyday I am having to change the appliance. His urostomy does not have anything protruding, and is flush with his skin, and also is very low on his abdomine (to the right of and slightly lower than his belly button). He has recently gained some weight, changeing the shape of the ostomy, and it seems that when sitting the stoma is almost laying on his leg. I think this is causing the blockage of flow and causing it to leak out the sides of the flange. Any suggestions on how I might change this. I have gone to a larger cut out, but it is still leaking.
