FREQUENT QUESTIONS
The terms "stoma" and "stoma" are often used interchangeably. A stoma is an opening in the abdominal wall that has been surgically created to allow the flow of stool or urine. There are many reasons for an operation. It could be cancer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease or inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulosis, birth defects, or trauma. People of any age can have an ostomy.
There are three main types of stoma: colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy. All are directed to the abdominal surface. A colostomy is an opening in the large intestine, also known as the colon. An ileostomy is the term used to describe an opening in the small intestine, specifically the ileum. A urostomy is the term used to describe an opening for urine flow.
Your stoma will be placed somewhere on your abdomen. It is always the healthcare professionals who choose the location of the stoma. Considerations for selecting the stoma site include: length, size and shape of the abdomen, abdomen exposed in various positions, occupation, clothing, use of equipment, physical issues, mobility, vision, dexterity, ability to take care of yourself, surgeon and surgeon preferences patients. Patiently. Only in emergency surgeries can it be difficult to consider all factors.
In most cases, a stoma has a negative effect on one's body image and perception of one's own body. You're just not used to having an extra body part in your stomach that swells up and looks so weird. With an attached bag, it can look even bulkier. For other people, however, their stoma is hardly noticeable under their clothing. However, this may not be the feeling you have.
If you have an ostomy, you are at risk of complications. However, it is very unlikely that you will have all of the complications associated with an ostomy, and the complications that you may have can often be treated. You must never accept complications. Your stoma nurse is very knowledgeable about complications and solutions and you should ask her for advice, for example. about using an ostomy belt.
Consult your stoma care professional for the most common complications such as stoma obstruction, skin problems, stoma retraction, stoma prolapse and leakage. One of the most common complications is parastomal hernia, which many people develop weeks, months, or even years after ostomy surgery.
Ostomy surgery involves making an incision in the abdominal muscles, causing abdominal weakness. In some cases, this weakness in the abdominal muscles allows a loop of bowel to protrude, resulting in a bulge around the stoma. This bulge is called a parastomal hernia.
Symptoms of a parastomal hernia include a bulge around or on the side of the stoma. Other symptoms are an asymmetrical appearance, a feeling of imbalance and possibly a feeling of heaviness due to the hernia. The diameter of the stoma may also increase, the stoma may flatten, the skin around the stoma may appear stretched and thin, and there may be changes in the pattern of bowel movements. You don't necessarily have all of the above symptoms.
In many cases, a hernia causes no problems. However, you may find the bump growing, making it more visible and therefore affecting its appearance. This can lead to social isolation and limit your daily activities overall. Although rarely painful, a parastomal hernia can become uncomfortable, especially as it grows, as it can cause uncomfortable pulling.
As the hernia grows, you may also find that it covers your stoma, preventing you from seeing and caring for it properly. In this case, it is important to consult your ostomy nurse who will discuss bag options with you. Another option is to consult with your surgeon to discuss surgical hernia repair options.
The stool excretion pattern can also change as a result of the hernia. Fecal matter can accumulate and explode in larger quantities than normal. Parastomal hernias can also change the shape and size of the stoma. This change could cause your braces to leak more often or irritate the skin around your stoma. In rare cases, the hernia can cause the stoma to not work as often or even spasm when trying to work. Seriously, you may find that the hernia is preventing the stoma from functioning. This can lead to abdominal stretching. Contact your ostomy nurse or surgeon immediately if you experience these symptoms, as surgery may be indicated.
Most hernias can be treated without surgery using supportive clothing such as B. an ostomy hernia support belt. Based on your hernia, the stoma care worker can determine which level of support and which garment – stoma belt, tube or pants – is right for you.
In rare cases, surgery may be needed to repair the hernia. But even after stoma hernia surgery, the hernia can reappear. For this reason, parastomal hernias are usually treated without surgery.
In many cases, your hernia will likely increase in size over time if surgery is not performed.
Not everyone, but many people develop parastomal hernias after ostomy surgery. In most cases, the hernia develops within 2 weeks and up to 2 years after stoma surgery. However, the risk of developing a hernia is lifelong.
The risk increases with age, obesity, pregnancy, lung diseases such as chronic cough or COPD, strenuous work, smoking and strenuous physical activity. If you are male, you are also at a higher risk.
One study showed that abdominal exercises combined with the use of a supportive garment, such as a B. an ostomy belt, the occurrence of hernias can prevent[1]. Your ostomy nurse may know what exercises are relevant for you to prevent a parastomal hernia.
Combine your exercises with the use of an ostomy bandage, avoid straining and heavy lifting, maintain a healthy weight, because being overweight increases tension in the abdominal muscles in most cases.

Corsinel ostomy belt and ostomy underwear are made from a special 4-way stretch material that expands and contracts according to body proportions. This means that the fabric always adapts to your stoma and braces. Your stoma fits snugly under the fabric and you don't necessarily need a hole for your stoma and ostomy bag.
Corsinel ostomy and hernia clothing is made from a strong, durable fabric that provides optimal support for a hernia. This is confirmed by several nurses and dentists. If you have a giant hernia, Corsinel is not usually recommended. In this case you may need a custom made garment.
An ostomy and hernia can negatively impact self-esteem and body image due to an altered appearance. In the worst case, this can lead to isolation. Corsinel ostomy hernia belts and underwear offer a more even and slimmer appearance and counteract the feeling of being crooked.
Corsinel is specifically designed to secure and support ostomy bags. The fabric used in Corsinel support clothing is carefully selected to ensure the best support and comfort to keep you feeling safe and confident in your daily life. The combination of the mesh of the fabric and the design of the Corsinel garments gives excellent support for an ostomy bag.
Two of the biggest concerns for ostomists are the risk of leakage and noise from the contents. We are aware of this and because your concern is our concern, we have designed the Corsinel to not only support an ostomy pouch to minimize the risk of leakage, but also to reduce noise from the contents at the same time. With Corsinel ostomy hernia clothing, we've done our best to address these concerns so you can feel safe and confident at all times.
Corsinel is made from a flexible 4-way stretch fabric. Due to the flexibility of the knit material, Corsinel stretches and stretches in all directions - just like the skin - always ensuring an ideal and unique fit, regardless of body proportions.
Your ostomy nurse will advise you on how tight your underwear and Corsinel belt should fit to provide you with the best possible support. Most importantly, you should always feel comfortable using Corsinel. If you feel unwell, it is important to remove the garment and seek advice from a gastric nurse.
Living with an ostomy has an impact on a person's everyday life. It is our mission to reduce this impact as much as possible and humanize healthcare. For this reason we have developed the Corsinel ostomy hernia line. No matter what situation you find yourself in on a daily basis, a garment from the Corsinel line can help you: at work, in the garden, when doing sports or other physical activities, when shopping - and if you wish, even when sleeping. Corsinel is an indispensable addition to your ostomy care.
Every ostomist has different needs. Some ostomists need extra support from their ostomy pouch during physical activity, some ostomists focus more on improving their appearance. Some ostomists will develop a hernia near or around an ostomy, while others will not. Corsinel offers a wide range of ostomy hernia products, all with different levels of support depending on the challenges you are facing.
In general, we advise you to contact an ostomy care professional for advice on the level of support. As a rule of thumb: If you don't have a hernia, light supportive clothing is usually helpful in everyday life. If you engage in activities where you feel you need an extra level of support, a medium support garment is recommended.
When you have a hernia, maximum support garments are generally always the first recommended product as they provide excellent support. However, this depends on the size of the hernia and general circumstances. If you find maximum support clothing uncomfortable, medium support clothing may suit your needs.
Several factors influence the choice of the height of your Corsinel ostomy hernia repair. This depends on the location of the stoma and the size of your abdomen. It also depends on the length of the torso and the size of the hernia. For best support and comfort, always ensure the support piece covers the entire hernia area. Always ensure that the height of your Corsinel support clothing is comfortable to wear. If in doubt, consult your ostomy nurse.
Most ostomists do not use high compression Corsinel at night, but sleepwear needs are individual. If you prefer, you can use light or medium support overnight.
This depends on your stoma and the challenges or complications of the stoma, such as: a parastomal hernia. Contact your ostomy care professional for advice on which Corsinel ostomy hernia product to choose.
In many cases, your stomach nurse will help you find the right size. To make fitting easier, each Corsinel product also has a size chart and instructions in the insert showing where to measure to find the right size on the size chart.
Corsinel garments are all machine washable. This means you can wash your Corsinel with your laundry. Corsinel can also be dried. Detailed care and handling instructions can be found on the ostomy product and on the insert in the product packaging. You should always have two pieces of Corsinel clothing on hand: one to wear and one to wash.
How long you should wear a Corsinel is individual. For some it may be just for physical activity, for others it may be both day and night. If you are unsure how long to wear your Corsinel, speak to your ostomy nurse for advice.
If you have questions that are not answered in these FAQs, we recommend that you contact your gastric nurse or surgeon for more information.

You can tell if you might have a parastomal hernia by a noticeable bulge or by placing your hand over your stoma and seeing if it protrudes out when you cough.
How common are stoma hernias? ›Firstly it's worth noting that hernias are very common, in fact up to 70% of ostomates will develop one. They occur when the edges of the stoma come away from the muscle, allowing abdominal contents (usually a section of bowel) to bulge out.
