Meaning and Usage

A "poor-fit colostomy bag" refers to a colostomy bag that does not fit properly on a person's abdomen, which can lead to leaks, discomfort, and skin irritation. Colostomy bags are used by individuals who have undergone a colostomy procedure, where part of the colon is brought to the surface of the abdomen to create a stoma. "Poor-fit" indicates that the bag is ill-suited for the individual's stoma size or shape.

The phrase is primarily used in medical contexts, particularly in discussions about post-operative care for patients with colostomies. It is encountered more frequently in written contexts such as medical literature, patient guides, or forums focused on health and wellness.
