Recently, I always feel that urination is getting out of control. At first, I didn't care much about it. However, this phenomenon is more and more frequent. I went to the hospital to check that there is a problem with the bladder. The doctor suggested total cystectomy. Now let me talk about the nursing after total cystectomy.

How to care after total cystectomy

First, the waist side urine bag is composed of the upper white steel urine collecting cover and the connected lower urine storage bag. The urine collection cover is buckled at the stoma of abdominal wall and fixed with a fixed belt. When using, it should be noted that the stoma must be located in the center of the urine collection cover. The urine flowing out of the fistula is collected by the urine collecting cover and flows into the urine storage bag. The urine in the urine storage bag is discharged regularly.

Second: the patient has a process of adaptation after wearing the waist side urinary bag after total cystectomy. In this process, the awareness of protection should be enhanced, especially the body position should be appropriate during sleep, so as to prevent urine leakage caused by the deflection or displacement of the urine collecting cover. Generally, after 1-2 weeks, they can basically adapt and gradually form conditioned reflex. Even in sleep, they can subconsciously protect the device.

Third: after total cystectomy, the waist side urine bag was rinsed with warm water once a day to remove the attached sediment. Soak in alcohol or Bromogeramine solution for 10 minutes every week to achieve the purpose of disinfection. When dry, do not directly expose to the sun or bake on the fire, but air dry indoors to avoid deterioration and aging of components.
