Blood Spurting from Stoma During Bag Change - Advice Needed

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person experiencing blood spurting from their stoma during a bag change. They have sought advice and shared their frustration about the issue.

Advice and Insights:
- Bleeding during a bag change is a common issue for some individuals with stomas.
- Applying Stomahesive Protective Powder around the base of the stoma before reapplying a new flange can help plug up light bleeding and allow the flange to stick better.
- Seeking medical attention is important if the bleeding is excessive or persistent.
- It's important to be cautious with applying pressure to the stoma, as it can sometimes make the bleeding worse.
- Rough edges of the wafer can cause the stoma to get rubbed and bleed, so using stoma powder can help in such cases.
