Living with a Stoma


Sexuality and Relationships

No matter if your patients are young, old, married, or single, and regardless of how active or inactive their sexual lives are, accepting life with a stoma is of major importance to intimate relationships. Returning home after stoma surgery is a time for healing, which may take priority over sexual adjustment, but there are specific things that can help with their sexual recovery.

In this booklet, your patients can find information and advice about sexuality and relationships when living with a stoma.
