Hi,

I'm new to this site so may be looking in the wrong place, but have not found any reference to Urostomy Stomas / Pouches etc

Should I be looking elsewhere ?

  • Hi xbargee

    This group is for all types of stomas-I have a urostomy and colostomy, so I do post here but the majority of posts tend to focus on ileostomy and colostomy. It would possibly be helpful for the group title to be changed to include urostomy as there isn’t a group specifically for urostomy questions and advice.

  • Hi Sarah,

    Thanks for that - I will keep looking - it was just that that having worn a Urostomy pouch for  8years+  ( not the same one all the time of course ! ) I thought that my experience may sometimes be helpful to others.

  • Hi xbargee

    I’m sure it would be helpful for others to get the benefit of your experience so keep looking in this group for anything you’d like to respond to, and also the bladder cancer group. These are the only 2 groups I’ve seen urostomies discussed in.
