Transverse colon colostomy irrigation

Postby Rgp » Wed Jan 19, 2022 5:03 pm

Hi
I have a transverse colon colostomy and wanted to try the irrigation option. Most of the times my stool is well formed and I empty 2-3 times day. All the online forums say it's not possible to irrigate transverse colon. I was wondering if anybody here has any experience with it.
Thank you
