When a colostomy bag is removed, the stoma (the opening created during colostomy surgery) is exposed, and any stool or gas that would normally exit through the bag will now be released directly from the stoma. This can lead to potential leakage or skin irritation if not managed properly. It is essential to clean the area and apply a new bag promptly to prevent complications. Always consult a healthcare professional for guidance on managing a stoma.
