Finding Love with a Urostomy: Anyone Else?

Finding love and building relationships can be a bit more challenging when you have a urostomy, but it's definitely possible. Geoff is feeling a bit lonely and is concerned about whether he will find a partner who either has a urostomy or understands what it's like to live with one. He's looking for some reassurance and shared experiences about dating and intimacy while managing a urostomy.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights that might help:

1. Many people with ostomies share the same fears. It's important to focus on living your best life and allow relationships to develop naturally.

2. Joining supportive communities, like forums, can be a great first step. Learning from others' experiences can help ease anxiety and boost your confidence.

3. There's a success story from someone who has had an ostomy for 58 years, since they were 15. They have enjoyed a long, fulfilling marriage and an active sex life. Here are some key approaches they suggest:
- Look for partners who are open to learning about ostomies.
- Be upfront about your situation early on with potential romantic interests.
- Choose partners who respond with understanding and acceptance.

4. Keep living and loving. When you do, the right person is more likely to find you.
