Life After a Colostomy: Let’s Make It Easier Together

A colostomy changes how your body functions, but it shouldn’t change your confidence or independence. At OBUR Health, we provide personalized colostomy management in Houston, offering discreet care, education, and hands-on support that meets you where you are, both physically and emotionally.

Whether you’re adjusting to a new stoma or managing long-term colostomy care, we’re here with expert, judgment-free support.

What Is Colostomy Management?

Colostomy management involves caring for the opening (stoma) created during a surgical procedure that diverts the colon to an opening in the abdomen. This allows waste to exit the body into a colostomy bag. While the surgery may be life-saving or medically necessary, adapting to the changes can feel overwhelming.

That’s why OBUR Health offers in-home colostomy care and in-clinic appointments to help you manage everything from equipment and hygiene to emotional well-being and lifestyle adjustments.
