**What is a Colostomy Bag?**



**Q: What​ is‍ a colostomy bag?**



**A:**⁢ A colostomy bag is a device used to collect⁤ waste from the colon after a surgical procedure called a colostomy. During a colostomy, a portion of the colon​ is ⁤diverted through an opening in the abdominal wall ‍(stoma). The colostomy bag ‍attaches to the stoma and allows⁣ the user to collect and manage the waste.



**Q: Who needs​ a colostomy bag?**



**A:** ‌Colostomy bags⁣ are typically used by individuals who have undergone a colostomy surgery for ‌various reasons, including:



* Colon cancer

* Crohn’s disease

* Ulcerative colitis

* Rectal prolapse

* Traumatic bowel injury



**Q: What are the different types of colostomy bags?**



**A:** ​There are several types of colostomy bags available, including:



* **Drainable bags:** These bags have​ an opening that allows the user to drain the waste into a toilet.

* **Non-drainable bags:** These⁢ bags are sealed and must be disposed of when they are full.

* **One-piece bags:** These bags are a ⁢single unit that attaches directly to the stoma.

* **Two-piece bags:** These bags have a baseplate that attaches to the stoma and a collection bag ⁣that can be attached and ‌detached from the baseplate.



**Q: How is a colostomy⁤ bag attached?**



**A:**⁣ A colostomy bag​ is attached to the stoma using a baseplate. The baseplate​ has an adhesive ring that adheres to the skin around the stoma. The collection bag then‌ snaps onto ‌the baseplate.



**Q: How often should a colostomy bag be changed?**
