Urostomy Leaks Daily: Seeking Effective Solutions

Hi,

I had a colostomy in July and my urostomy  in October. My urostomy leaks several times a day Spending a small fortune in supplies, tried adapt past different rings nothing has worked. I really want my life back Any suggestion would be welcomed, thanks, Linda

Hi Linda. I know nothing about urostomies but will try to offer some help. You're not having any problem with the colostomy appliance, so let's try to figure out what's different. I'm guessing liquid is getting under the wafer. I can only suggest a couple of things like making sure the skin is completely dry before applying the wafer. If there's any space between the stoma and the wafer, eliminate it with an Eakin seal. Beyond that, an ostomy nurse would probably fix this up immediately. Good luck and post again if you need help.

Sincerely,

Mike

I forgot to suggest heating the wafer (and the Eakin seal) with a hair dryer.
