Hi Everyone,
I just read a post from Gary from last year about finding information for urostomites - which is very frustrating. When searching we usually find other types of ostomy information. So, I decided to start a thread just for urostomy. And the first questions is - yesterday I had bubbles in my pouch and after emptying it 3 or 4 times, the bubbles finally went away. But I don't know what caused this. Anyone else have this issue? Is it something to be concerned about?
I have had my urostomy for over 60 years and I think the bubbles are possibly just air. I get them quite a bit and doesn't seem to be anything bad.
As always if you are not sure or concerned ask your doctor or if you have an ostomy nurse ask them.
