Does urine go in a colostomy bag?

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.


Difference between urostomy and suprapubic catheter?

A urostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening (stoma) in the abdomen to divert urine from the bladder to an external pouch, typically performed when the bladder is removed or non-functional. In contrast, a suprapubic catheter is a flexible tube inserted through the abdominal wall directly into the bladder to drain urine, often used for patients who cannot urinate normally. While both manage urinary function, a urostomy involves a permanent diversion, whereas a suprapubic catheter can be temporary or long-term, depending on the patient's needs.

What is urostomy?

A urostomy is an opening in the abdominal wall (belly) that is made during surgery. It detours, or re-directs urine away from a bladder that is diseased or not working as it should. The bladder is either bypassed or removed, and the urine is passed out of the body through an opening called a stoma. Surgery to remove the bladder is called a cystectomy. The stoma will look pink to red and will be moist and shiny. It will shrink over a short period of time after surgery. The shape will be round to oval. Some stomas may stick out a little, while others are flush with the skin. You will not be able to start and stop urine coming out through the stoma, so a pouch will be fitted to collect the urine as it comes out.
