How can i enjoy sex if i have a stoma or colostomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Creatively: A stoma doesn't mean the end of intimacy. Both you and your partner need to understand that the stoma is now part of things. Different positions can help. Both of you need to keep an open mind. Don't let the situation get you down. Your sex life should remain good!
