Swimming with a urostomy
My husband is three years post bladder and prostate removal. We have adjusted to the bag, but don't understand how he is supposed to swim in a pool or the ocean with the barrier and bag. It gets wet, it falls off. Is it ok for the stoma to be uncovered in a pool or the ocean?
Hi
I am so glad you reached out. The good news is yes, he can swim with a little preparation. Here is an article that I hope can help him: https://bladdercancer.net/living/urostomies-swimming-pool. Please keep us posted on how he is doing. Jill (Team Member) Hi,Mamak. I have a bag and swim every day. Maybe check other products which might tolerate water better. I don’t think I am allowed to recommend a product name,here, but there are products available.
