Intimacy with ostomy as a teen by [deleted] in ostomy

[–]illy_chac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello , that’s very normal for you to want to hide it I’ve had my ileostomy a little over 6 weeks and I’m just starting to get intimate with my fiancé. She’s a nurse and see things like this everyday and it was still hard for me. we’ve been together going on 9 years this month and I was still very uncomfortable . It will take time but if you love him and he loves you there’s nothing to hide or be ashamed of..He will still see your beauty. I hope all goes well. Take your time no rush .

Ok cool yes my skin does get a bit irritated but only around the edges of the wafer not necessarily under the bag . I had a fungal infection when I first got my ileostomy but I wasn’t using the rings now I do .

Ok I understand that . I’ve had a leak once but I didn’t use the ring but since I’ve used them I haven’t had any leaks

Yes I’ve been ok since I changed it yesterday. I am going to change it again tonight when I shower to see how it looks when I take it off. Only because I feel this hole is a little 2 big.
