A colostomy bag attaches to the intestines through a surgical procedure called colostomy, where a portion of the colon is brought through the abdominal wall to create an opening called a stoma. The stoma serves as an exit point for waste, and the colostomy bag is secured to the skin around the stoma using an adhesive. This allows for the collection of waste, which can be emptied or changed as needed. Proper care and maintenance of the stoma and bag are essential for preventing leaks and skin irritation.
