Living with Meningocele and Its Challenges

Dear Friends,

I was born with Meningocele and was operated on at the age of 1 year. The result was that I had no control of urine and bowel. Then in Jan. 1975, I underwent another operation for urinary diversion (Cap. Chloromycetin post-op.), which I think is called ileostomy.

Now I have a stoma outside, on the right side of my stomach, through which urine comes out and fills the urine bag that is fitted on my stoma. For bowel control, I maintain a food diet so that I am not in trouble, for others and myself. There are lots of ups and downs, but the fact is a fact and I have to accept it. I am unmarried and manage everything myself.

This is my small introduction.

Take care of your health.

Regards.
