Establishing a helpful and manageable routine to change your colostomy pouch is a crucial part of colostomy care. You may change the pouch when required. If you are using a one-piece ostomy pouch, you will need to replace the entire pouch. If you are using a two-piece ostomy bag, you will need to change the pouch as required and replace the baseplate once or twice a week. If you have a colostomy and you use drainable pouches, you can empty them whenever necessary. You will need to replace one-piece drainable ostomy pouches every 2-3 days. If you are using two-piece ostomy pouches, you can change the bag whenever you want, and change the baseplate once or twice a week. Changing your colostomy pouch
