Bleeding Stoma - Seeking Advice

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about individuals with stomas experiencing bleeding and seeking advice and insights from others who have had similar experiences.

Advice and Insights
- Stomas can bleed easily, especially when irritated, but it usually stops quickly with a little pressure.
- The bleeding may not necessarily be from the stoma itself, but from the sensitive skin around it.
- Using a thin barrier shield directly on the pouch can help with bleeding from the sensitive skin around the stoma.
- Keeping the peristomal skin in good shape by regularly changing the pouch and wafer can help prevent bleeding.
- Knowing that others have experienced the same issue can help alleviate panic if it happens.
