Intimacy after surgery.

Intimacy after surgery. It is one of the questions in our community that gets asked in a DM — rarely out loud.

UOAA and Colostomy UK are both clear on this: most people do return to intimacy after ostomy surgery. The timeline and the path look different for everyone — and that is normal.

Both organisations also note that body image changes, fear of leaks, and partner communication are the most common things people work through. These are not small things. And they are worth asking about.

Your stoma nurse and consultant have had this conversation before. They are the right starting point.
