Having a urostomy means the pathway of your urine has changed from travelling through your bladder to flowing through a surgically created tube (ileal conduit), which can leave you more susceptible to developing kidney complications.
See the recording of our ‘Meet the experts’ webinar for ways to keep your kidneys healthy. The event was held on Tuesday 27 May.
Speakers include:
Helen Lake – Helen’s expertise covers a wide range of urology conditions including bladder dysfunction, urinary tract infection (UTI), bladder pain, prostate conditions (prostatitis, benign prostatic enlargement), prostate cancer and other urology cancers, erectile dysfunction and male infertility. Her roles have included Ward Sister in the NHS, Clinical Nurse Specialist in Urology Stoma and Continence, Nurse Led Clinics and more recently Director of Men’s Health for an app based health care provider supporting men’s urology and general health issues.
