Which measure is appropriate for treating GI ostomy hyperplasia lesions?

• A. GI ostomy lesion treatment by corrected sizing and cutting of pouch system
• B. Pouch with anti-reflux valve for GI ostomies
• C. Urine pH around 6.0
• D. Bedside drainage during sleep

Answer: (A)

Peristomal mucocutaneous hyperplasia results from ongoing irritation and moisture at the stoma site. The most effective way to treat it is to remove the source of irritation by ensuring the ostomy appliance fits the stoma properly. Correctly sizing and cutting the pouch opening so the flange sits flush against the skin minimizes stool contact, leakage, and friction on the surrounding skin. This reduces irritation and allows the hyperplastic tissue to soften and heal over time. Other options don’t address the underlying cause: an anti-reflux valve doesn’t impact peristomal irritation, and urine pH management or bedside drainage during sleep isn’t relevant to treating peristomal hyperplasia.
