Hi @jamesgs1, welcome. Given your history with prostate cancer and that you have a urostomy, I moved your question to both the Prostate Cancer support group and the Ostomy support group. I think others may have thoughts to share with you. I'm tagging @katydid77 @jshollett @hodagwi to see if they have thoughts to add.

You said that you are seeing a urinary physician. I assume this doctor is a urologist, which is the specialist I would've recommended for your situation. You may also wish to speak with an ostomy nurse.

James, am I understanding correctly that you currently have a stoma (opening) in place but you are not using it to pass urine. Is that correct? My understanding is that once you have a urostomy as your doctor suggests, you pass urine through an opening (stoma) into a bag that you wear at all times to catch the urine as it leaves your body. That would be a good question to confirm with your doctor.
