Managing Sports with a Urostomy: Tips and Gear

This topic is all about finding ways to stay active in sports while living with a urostomy. Here are some practical tips and gear suggestions to help you enjoy your favorite activities comfortably and safely:

1. Consider using a Coloplast one-piece system, which includes an adhesive barrier and pouch. This setup is convenient for active users, especially if you assemble it in advance.

2. Some specific Coloplast products that might be helpful include:
- SenSura Mio Flex Skin Barrier, Light Convex, with a 50 mm flange and pre-cut 25 mm.
- SenSura Mio Flex Uro Pouch Maxi Opaque, 50 mm.
- Brava Protective Ring, 27 mm in diameter and 2.5 mm thick.
- Brava Elastic Barrier Strips.
- Brava Adhesive Remover Wipes.

3. The Coloplast Night Bag is recommended for nighttime use. There are tips available for keeping it fresh between uses.

4. If you participate in contact sports, using a dedicated stoma guard is the best way to ensure safety. These guards are compatible with any brand of pouching system.

5. With the right protection, such as a stoma guard, there are virtually no restrictions on the sports you can enjoy. For instance, rugby teams supported by the UK Colostomy Association demonstrate that you can still participate in high-contact sports.
