Ostomy discussion on Radio 4

The topic is about a segment from the BBC Radio 4 program "Woman’s Hour" that discusses living with an ostomy. This part of the broadcast starts at around 31 minutes and 45 seconds into the program. The original poster believes that members of the forum might find this segment both interesting and informative.

Here are some insights and advice shared by listeners:

1. Many listeners describe the segment as "a revelation" and "terrific," appreciating that it addresses ostomy issues, which are not often discussed publicly. This broadcast helps to break the taboo and encourages more open conversations about living with an ostomy.

2. An ostomy nurse, who is also an ostomate, suggests replaying the segment for a better understanding. They also point out additional resources available on the website OstomyLifestyle.org.

3. Members who have personal experience with ostomies, such as those living with a 4-year ileostomy, feel encouraged by the national-level coverage. They find it inspiring and are motivated to talk more openly about their own experiences.
