Preta Gil is hospitalized at the Sírio Libanês hospital, in San Paolo, since December last year, when it has been subjected to a long surgery to remove an intestine cancer. The singer, who was far from social media, appeared in a video Sunday (26) and updated his health. He explained that he needed to insert a permanent colostomy bag after the procedure.

What is a bag for colostomy?

A definitive colostomy must be performed when a patient has a rectum or anus disease that requires the surgical removal of the rectum (final part of the large intestine) or the anus and then, for the rest of his life, he will have the elimination of the stool through a bag.

“The intestine is placed out of the skin and the stool fall into a bag and this is the bag for colostomy, a bag that stores the feces”, explains Dr. Carlos André Antunes, procrogue of the Brazilian society of procstology, who works in San Paolo.

According to the professional, the bag must be adequately sanitized. “There are some intestinal emptying techniques and some specific bags for colostomy that allow the patient a relative control over the elimination of the stool. And there is the work of the nurses, stomatologists, which is very important, which help a lot, help The patient colostomized much to understand your problem, take care of your colostomy and have a life as normal as possible. ”

The doctor says that the life of a patient with colostomy is not simple and is not the same life as a person who does not have a colostomy. “There is always some limit. Colostomy changes the image of the body, the way the person sees himself, and on all this we must work on a psychological level.”

Carlos André Antunes also underlines the importance of carrying out tests that identify the diseases early and can avoid surgical interventions that completely eliminate the patient’s rectum or that can last years.

“That’s why it is so important to prevent intestinal diseases, especially through a test called colonoscopy, which identifies the early changes that can lead to the intestine cancer,” he concludes.
