A member asked:

I had a cystectomy in 2013...no bladder and i wear a urostomy bag at all times. i have flu like symptons...body aches, left side hurts worse, get hot and cold and when i empty my bag the urine is thick and a little cloudy?

The question is whether the urostomy bag contains crystal sediment,mucus buildup or pyuria, a sign of bacteria build up. If it's pyuria from bacteria, is it just colonization with one or more bacteria species or is it a symptomatic infection? In view of your symptoms, I suspect a urinary tract infection & you should call your MD for instructions, testing& begin antibiotics until results are back.

It could be from an infection. Pl check with your Urologist soon.
