A Urostomy is a type of stoma used to divert the Urinary system, it is created when the bladder has been removed. Once the Bladder is removed, the surgeon will take a portion of the small bowel which he will connect to the ureters. It will then be brought through the abdomen wall and sewn to your skin making a permanent opening for Urine to leave the body. A Urostomy is permanent meaning once the surgery has been completed it cannot be reversed.

The three words anyone with a Urostomy hates to hear… Urinary Tract Infection. 

As a Ostomate I have heard so many mind blowing myths about Stomas and life as an ostomate. Some of them can really worry or cause quite a bit of confusion and I feel its so important to raise a bit of awareness about some of them for everyone.
