A member asked:
My friend has an ileostomy and she has been leaking constantly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leak where?: Where is the leak? If it is around the ileostomy then ask her doctor to locate a home health nurse with ostomy training to help. If there is a leak from some other location, then needs to see her doctor for evaluation.
