Expert By Experience - Yvette

Season 5, Episode 2,   Mar 28, 2023, 12:00 AM

Join Hannah and Paul for another Expert by Experience special, brought to you by Coloplast Professional.

Yvette was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis after the birth of her first child, when she was just 19 years old.

Yvette's initial experience wasn't a great one. Having been through a horrid time during pregnancy and being told it was just hemorrhoids, Yvette wasn't diagnosed properly until around 6 months after she gave birth. And when the diagnosis did come, it was presented to her as a negative rather than something that would positively impact her life.

Hannah chats to Yvette about her stoma journey and how she got her life back.
