I had two C-sections and the bag was never a problem. Urine is sterile so it should not affect the incision. That is what I was told.

unfortunately my urostomy bag leaked onto the wound and i got a nasty infection. the wound is still oozing, pretty nasty.
i now have a drainage bag covering the part of the wound that oozes. its a real pain.

How annoying, and you were worried about this too.  I hope it gets better soon.
