I was intrigued by the question from the fellow traveling to Japan. Later this year, my husband and I have planned a trip to China. I have a urostomy. I plan on bringing a lot of supplies, but will there be any surprises for me in China? Has anyone made this trip and do you have any suggestions?

Hi Gracie, not sure about supplies, but my nurse, who was Chinese, told me of the oddest thing...they have an ostomy museum in China somewhere (I can't remember where!) and reported that it documents the history of ostomy wear from the very beginning.....it sounded very strange to me, but also I thought it would give us all an appreciation for the advancements made in our supplies! Enjoy your trip..

I looked up ostomy musemum on Google and discovered it is in the second military hospital in Shanghai. I doubt if we will have time to visit it while we are on our tour, but its existence is really interesting. Thanks for the info.

Returning to work after ostomy surgery should not be rushed.
