How to Reinsert a Shrunken Prolapsed Stoma

The topic is about how to reinsert a prolapsed stoma after it has been reduced in size, often using granulated sugar to help with the shrinkage. The person is looking for a step-by-step guide on when and how to push the stoma back in.

Here are some helpful tips:

1. Lie flat on your back. This position uses gravity to assist in sliding the prolapsed segment back into place.

2. If the stoma does not retract on its own while you are lying down, you can gently guide or push it back in with your hands.

3. Once the stoma is back in place, immediately put on a support belt with a built-in flap. This will help keep the stoma secure and reduce the risk of another prolapse.
