Inverted Stoma: Product Recommendations and Experiences

This topic is about finding the right products and tips for managing an inverted stoma. If you have an inverted stoma and are looking for advice on what appliances or accessories might work best, here are some helpful suggestions from others who have been in your shoes:

1. When asking for help, try to provide specific details about the challenges you're facing, such as leakage, skin irritation, or the need for frequent changes. This information can help others, including suppliers and nurses, give you more tailored advice.

2. Reach out to the customer-care teams at major ostomy product manufacturers like Convatec and Hollister. They have specialists who can offer product recommendations and troubleshooting tips specifically for inverted or irregular stomas.

3. Consider using convex appliances. Some users with irregular stomas have had success with Hollister convex products, experiencing fewer leaks and minimal skin issues over extended periods.

4. If you notice any itching or irritation, change your appliance as soon as possible to prevent more serious skin problems.

5. An ostomy nurse, also known as a Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurse (WOCN), can be a great resource for finding the right fit and selecting products, especially if you have a non-standard stoma shape like an inverted stoma.
