I have had a bladder bag full time since 2001.I am 59.
TODAY out of the blue , I started urinating ( like a normal person)Had strange sensation ..which caused my eyes to water and have had to change my clothes 4 times .HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE when I wear a bag .Im so scared to go to doctor .There's no smell to it and it's reddish brown in color .
If you have experienced anything similar , Please share
Hello skylarose.
I woud suggest you get a sample of this urine in a clean container (which you should be able to get from your doctor's surgery of th pharmacy) Take it to your doctor and explain what is happening. These things should not be left to chance and finding out what is amiss earlier rather than later might set your mind at rest. If you need treatment it is always better to have it as early as possible.
What you describe is not uncommon in 'normal' people but it might indicate a urinary infection, which can be cleared up in no time with antibiotics. With a bladder bag it may still be the same type of thing but the important thing (with or without a bag) is to get it checked out as quickly as possible.
Please let us know how you get on.
Best wishes
Bill

New ostomate, we’ve all gone through feeling low and depressed over your ostomy.
This is a pretty open group. Right now, in summer, it’s a low response time—lots of family things going on. If you need something, call out. Someone dealing with your situation will post something sooner or later.
It’s just that time of year.
Take care, and good luck.
Gee, I was going to post, and read Bill's post first, and all I have to say now is:
"What he said!"
Thanks, Bill, you hit the nail on the head!
