There are three types of 'ostomies'. A Urostomy is for urine. A colostomy is made from the large intestine. An ileostomy is made from the small intestine. Normally you would only have one of these. But some people with complications may need both a urostomy and colostomy. Then it would be two separate bags.
The surgical procedure is a colostomy, which entails the fitting of a colostomy bag to collect the faeces and urine.

A colostomy bag isn't a usual sort of of bag that people would have with them, especially when going out and about. The bag serves as a way for people to defecate without needing a toilet.
A personal assistant can help with the change of a colostomy bag if that is what is needed for the patient's care.
