Leaks Again! Seeking Solutions to Stop the Cycle

This topic is about dealing with the frustrating issue of persistent night-time leaks from an ostomy pouch, which can lead to fatigue and discomfort. The person experiencing this problem is hoping for a permanent solution with the help of their nurses. Here are some helpful tips and insights that might make things a bit easier:

1. Consider having a stoma or ET nurse create or update a cutting template for your wafer. Ensuring that the wafer is cut precisely to fit your stoma can significantly reduce the chances of leakage.

2. It's not uncommon to experience persistent leaks and skin irritation, especially in the early stages. Many people face these challenges but eventually find solutions. Keep working with your nurses and stay patient, as perseverance often leads to improvement.
