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.
MeetAnOstoMate.org is the only place where people truly understand you. It's because everyone here has an ostomy.
Many come here for advice or to give advice, others have found good friends, and some have even built long-lasting relationships.
Privacy is very important - there are many features only visible to members.
Eleven years with an Ileal Conduit and there are always bubbles.....never a problem.
Agree with NancyAnn above, about talking to your MD / ET Nurse if need be to set your mind at ease.
Best
PS: Thanks for the Urostomy thread.
