Wearing Ostomy Bag Horizontally & Post-Surgery Issues - Seeking Advice

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about wearing an ostomy bag horizontally instead of vertically and seeking advice on post-surgery issues related to urination and sexual function after having rectum removal surgery.

Advice and Insights
- Some individuals find wearing the pouch horizontally more comfortable and discreet, especially under close-fitting clothing.
- The "stealth bag" is recommended for those interested in horizontal deployment of the bag.
- It's important to consult with a medical professional regarding issues like impotence and urination problems post-surgery.
- The position of the pouch can be adjusted based on clothing and comfort, and it may help with issues like poking and rubbing against sensitive skin.
- There may not be a significant difference in wafer erosion when wearing the pouch horizontally, and the output may reside to one side depending on the positioning, but it generally does not affect the overall comfort or security when wearing pants.
- It's advisable to seek medical advice for specific post-surgery issues, as individual experiences may vary.
