Product Information

You might have practical worries about the urostomy bag leaking or being noticeable. Or about your new bladder leaking. This can make you feel embarrassed and anxious. So you may not want to be far from your home or toilets.

It is quite common for people with indwelling catheters to experience bladder spasms. This occurs when the bladder attempts to pass out the balloon section of the catheter. A doctor may prescribe medications to reduce the frequency and intensity of these spasms. You can exercise and swim. If you have a urostomy, you can wear a smaller urostomy bag while you swim if you prefer. Or you can wear a waterproof dressing. Your stoma nurse can tell you about this. Once a person has emptied their bladder, they need to remove the catheter. It is necessary to remove the old catheter and insert a new one several times per day to empty the bladder.

If you cannot bring the specimen within 30 minutes, it must be kept cold until it gets to the laboratory (lab). You can store it in the refrigerator or put it on top of some ice. Do not let it freeze. Unmanaged or poorly managed incontinence may have an impact on your social life. However, incontinence shouldn't stop you doing the things you enjoy. To help you overcome your incontinence, start by talking to your doctor or health care professional. He or she will be able to find the right solution for you. A urinary catheter is a flexible tube used to empty the bladder and collect urine in a drainage bag. Although incontinence becomes more common with age, it's not just older adults who are affected. Incontinence can occur as a result of various medical conditions, damage to the spinal cord or prostate. The main disadvantage of using a catheter is that it can allow certain bacteria to enter the body and cause infection.

For business hours and locations, please call Laboratory Services at (800) 934-6575 or visit NationwideChildrens.org/Lab If you need a long-term urinary catheter, you'll be given detailed advice about looking after it before you leave hospital. The charity Bladder and Bowel Community has more information on intermittent self-catheterisation. Indwelling cathetersWhen the urine bag is approximately two-thirds full, it needs to be emptied. You do this by simply opening the valve at the bottom of the bag and emptying its contents into the toilet. What about during the night? At first you will pass wind through your stoma and then, usually within 2 or 3 days, you poo through it.

Leg bags and valves should be changed every 7 days. The bag can be attached to your right or left leg, depending on which side is most comfortable for you. At night, you'll need to attach a larger bag. Your night bag should either be attached to your leg bag or to the catheter valve. It should be placed on a stand next to your bed, near the floor, to collect urine as you sleep. Single-use night bags are usually used to reduce the risk of infection. In some cases, you may be taught how to remove and replace the catheter so sex is easier for you. When to get medical adviceYou may notice that your bowel movements change after surgery to remove your bladder. This is because the surgeon removes part of your bowel to make the urinary diversion. So your bowel is shorter than before.
