Common problems with an ostomy:

• Leaks around the flange/barrier/appliance
• The appliance comes off (massive mess.)
• Pain from contact with seat belts, belts, jeans etc.
• Hernias make it harder for the appliance to seal
• Embarrassment caused by leaks or fear of leaks

Common problems for the ostomy caregiver: 

• Lack of compliance from the ostomate
• Denial (refusing to accept the new life.)
• Refusal/ inability to change the appliance
• Things can get messy
• The ostomate might remove the appliance at the wrong time.
