ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Urostomy pouches are special bags that are used to collect urine after some types of bladder surgery. Instead of going to your bladder, urine will go outside of your abdomen into the urostomy pouch. The surgery to do this is called a urostomy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Urostomy pouches come in many sizes and shapes, but there are 2 main types: One-piece pouches attach directly to the skin barrier. Two-piece pouches include a skin barrier and a pouch you can take off.

Detailed explanation-3: -Urine drainage bags collect urine. Your bag will attach to a catheter (tube) that is inside your bladder. You may have a catheter and urine drainage bag because you have urinary incontinence (leakage), urinary retention (not being able to urinate), surgery that made a catheter necessary, or another health problem.

Detailed explanation-4: -The urine is carried to your bladder by two tubes called the ureters. Your bladder is like a balloon which stores urine. It’s a stretchy bag made of muscle tissue.
