Sexual health: case study of a patient who has undergone stoma formation
1Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, East Sussex.
Abstract:
Studies have identified that following stoma-forming surgery, 69% of patients have sexual health concerns (Van-de-Weil et al, 1991). However, studies suggest that this is an area of care that is frequently omitted by stoma care nurses (Borwell, 1997). By focusing this case study on the experiences of a patient cared for by the author, this article aims to identify patients' needs with regards to sexual health care following stoma-forming surgery. The author suggests that greater training on sexual health care should be provided for nurses. Nurses should discuss sexual health needs more openly with their colleagues to improve their skills, and with patients, so that patients are aware that sexual health is an area of value and that their concerns can be discussed and appropriately addressed.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
