For some vague reason, it can be extra comforting to know that celebrities have experienced your struggles. After all, society uses famous people as avatars to reflect its foibles back on itself. So let’s learn more about the famous people living with an ostomy bag.
But first, we have to be clear on the basics.
What is an Ostomy?
An ostomy is a change in the way waste exits the body as a result of life-saving surgery. After these procedures, stool or urine will pass through an opening in the abdomen (the stoma) and will be collected by an ostomy pouch. After that, you can empty or dispose of it.
There are three types of ostomy; colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy:
Colostomy occurs when only part of the colon is bypassed. Fecal output is generally solid so both closed or drainable pouches will be suitable.
Ileostomy occurs when the entire colon is bypassed, usually resulting in liquid fecal output. Here drainable, and in some cases high-output, pouches are required.
A urostomy is created when part or all of the bladder is removed, rerouting urine output to the stoma. This requires a special urostomy system.
