You are going to need to drain your urostomy pouch several times a day. All you have to do is to go near the toilet and get into a comfortable position that allows you to empty your pouch with convenience. The bottom of a urostomy pouch has a valve. You have to open this valve to allow urine to flow out of the bag. If you are using a one-piece urostomy pouch, you are going to have to replace the entire pouching system every other day. If you are using a two-piece ostomy pouch, you will have to change the faceplate once or twice a week. Remember, a urostomy functions round the clock, so whether you want to change or empty the pouch, you are going to have to have quick access to everything. Make everything ready to do what’s necessary as quickly as you can. Changing the pouch
