Synopsis

Over 50,000 people in the United Kingdom alone have a stoma. Colostomy and ileostomy are the most common types. They save the lives of the people who have them, but they can be hard to adjust to. This book aims to help the reader with the practical routines and the psychological effects of a stoma. There are direct answers to all the questions people with a stoma really want to ask, and there is advice on coping with everyday life. Craig White discusses how to cope with potential embarrassments and how to sustain self-esteem and body-image.
