What causes a person to have a colostomy bag? - Dr. Rajasekhar M R

First of all let us know what is colostomy. Colon is nothing but a large intestine. Colon is nothing but a hole is made in the large intestine an brought out through the abdominal wall for the passage of motions. This is when whenever there is a problem in the passage of motions through the anal canal. So if the anal canal is damaged due to any disease or injury or cancer or post operative or surgery where we have to remove the anus, then we have to do a colostomy wherein part of the large intestine will be brought out through a hole in the abdominal wall and a bag will be attached to it to collect the stools which comes out through the colostomy. The other one is called as temporary colostomy where toy want to divert the motions from the anal canal due to various diseases or due to some surgical procedures. So colostomy bag is used when there is a need for colostomy to collect the stools in the bag rather through the anus.
