Human evolution Until now, it can be said that what exists in the body is reasonable and has a certain role. They have their own functions to jointly maintain physical health and maintain normal life activities. Even small hairs have certain protective benefits for health.
However, some people need to remove a certain part due to disease. If it is not removed, it will be difficult to survive. For example, removing a broken kidney and removing uterus . But what will happen to people if they lose anus? What will you face? It may be difficult for many people to imagine. However, such groups are not uncommon in our country. There are more than one million "stomachers" in our country. Who can understand their pain?
What is "ostomy man"?
Simply put, they have severe lesions in the rectum or bladder , and they need to remove the lesions and then open a new mouth to save their lives.
may be the first time many people have heard of it, but in fact, there are not many people in this type of population. According to statistics, there are more than one million patients with stomatology in my country, and the number of people is still increasing .
Take Rectal cancer for , it is a relatively high incidence in recent years, and many patients are already developing when they are found out, and they have lost the golden treatment opportunity. There are fewer options available. For some patients, although there may be choices, it may be difficult to choose between life-saving or anal-saving or anal-saving .
Some people may think that saving lives is more important, but everyone’s mentality and ideas are different. For some people, if they choose to stoma, they may refuse and would rather spend the rest of their lives like this. Because he will feel that this makes him lose dignity , and it is also a burden for the family. People who can accept stoma may think that this is a window opened by by God , which allows him to continue to live without feeling that it is deficient.
About stoma, many people may not know about it. In fact, there is World Ostomy Day , which is held every three years on the first Saturday in October every year. In order to strengthen communication, you can also promote this knowledge to everyone and advocate caring for and helping such people.
Ms. Chen is one of this group. After she was diagnosed with rectal cancer, the significance of anal protection treatment was not very important because of her condition. The doctor suggested resection. She was very active in treating her because she had not yet started a family and had not been filial to her parents. She did not want her life to stop there. The doctor told her how to remove it, but after she got to know it, she did not resist and received treatment.
But after the operation, her mentality changed quickly because compared to her previous self, the change was too big, and Ta was difficult to accept for a while, and she collapsed and cried several times. Fortunately, her family and friends have been with her, and she always gives her encouragement and confidence. This negative emotion did not continue. Slowly, she gradually began to learn to take care of her own stoma and slowly accepted her own changes.
What will a person face if he has no anus? Can you still live a normal life?
excretion is one of its functions. If it is missing, it will face the situation where cannot independently control the excretion of . For people with ostomy, they may feel this way after the operation. Sometimes they will lose their pockets before they can change, and their clothes may be stained.
If not cleaned in time, it may also increase the risk of infection and affect the skin health of the ostomy site of .
After care after surgery, They can still live normally , but compared with the general population, the location of their excretion has changed .However, in order to prevent oral hernia, they are not suitable for more intense exercise. At work, they need to spend a lot of effort to carry heavy objects, and may not be suitable.
In addition, this has the impact on their Mental health , and it is even more important than the body and deserves attention. For them, they are prone to anxiety and depression, and are afraid that people around them will look at themselves with strange eyes or dislike themselves.
So, they need care and help very much. Even if we can't really help them and can't help relieve their physical pain, I hope everyone will not look at them with strange eyes. When they are helpful, they should help and care for them.
What should patients with stoma care pay attention to in nursing?
Adjust your mindset . In addition, regarding daily care, the following aspects should be noted:
Dietary, it is recommended to eat some foods containing fiber in moderation. spicy and stimulating should eat less or not, easy to produce gas and is also recommended to eat less.
In terms of physical activities, Moderate is beneficial to health, but it is best to avoid excessive and not to exercise vigorously.
There is no big difference between ordinary people in daily clothes, but be careful to avoid squeezing at the stoma . For example, when wearing clothes with belts, do not tie them on them.
Finally, I want to tell you that this is just a treatment method, not all patients with rectal cancer need to be removed. Early detection and early treatment is important. Therefore, I hope that everyone should pay attention to the same things that appear many times in the body. Early examination, and also develop good living habits and learn to prevent. This is far more important than treatment. For people over 45 years old, regardless of men or women, it is recommended to check the lower intestine in a timely manner, especially those at high risk of intestinal cancer, early screening and learning to prevent.
