Can You Help?

Can You Help will post patient and clinician questions regarding wound, ostomy, and continence care for comments and advice. Please send your queries to the Editor: bzeiger@hmpcommunications.com.

I have a colostomy, about 1" opening, and for 8 years I had no problem with my pouches. Then for 3 or 4 months I can't seem to have a bag on for more than a day, and there is leakage. What is deep convexity and should I have different kind of pouches that have a deep convexity? Would that help? Thank you.
