Despite advancements in therapies for IBD, approximately 80% of people with Crohn’s disease and 20% of those with ulcerative colitis will require surgery at some point in their lives. This frequently entails the creation of either a temporary or a permanent stoma. About 10% of CD patients will need a permanent stoma at a certain stage of their disease course.
Embracing the Journey
Life takes us on unexpected paths, and for some of us, that involves undergoing surgery for conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. But fear not, because this journey is about discovering newfound strength and resilience. For patients that require surgical interventions, adapting to life with an ostomy may cause one to temporarily struggle through periods of depression, anxiety, lowered self-esteem, or poorer body image. Though adapting to life with a stoma can be challenging at first, advancements in therapies, medical devices, and stoma care products have made it possible for patients to enjoy an active lifestyle with confidence, and dignity, resulting in a vastly improved quality of life.
Empowering Your Spirit
It's natural to face temporary struggles with emotions like depression, anxiety, and self-esteem when adapting to life with an ostomy. However, take heart in knowing that modern treatments and caring for your stoma is easier than ever, offering you an improved quality of life.
As every ostomy patient knows, it’s important to learn to properly care for their stoma site to prevent complications, however, it is common for people to encounter challenges in keeping their stoma site and flange from getting wet and staying 100% dry while bathing or showering.

We understand the challenges you face in keeping your stoma site and flange dry, especially during those refreshing showers or relaxing baths.

After healing from ostomy surgery, people of all ages and types enjoy swimming, surfing scuba diving, or just relaxing in a hot tub. Post-surgical patients often find that water therapy makes them feel stronger both physically and emotionally. In addition to building physical strength and endurance, the calming and relaxing nature of the water can strengthen one’s spirit and support one’s mental health during recovery. However, it's not uncommon for people to feel a bit anxious when returning to the pool for the first time. We understand how the anxiety over common concerns, such as the fear of leaks might keep some people out of the pool.
