I am having a nightmare. Ever since I have had the bag fitted, it has leaked every single day. I have to change the bag sometimes four times a day. It leaks at night when I am asleep. I have to wash my clothes every day. I have been given different bags, rings, extenda tape, tablets, sachets, and powder to spray on, but nothing works. Please, someone must have suffered this. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!
