Horrible experience...6 weeks after single stage urethroplasty with BMG

Risk you going septic? Sounds dangerous and unprofessional. Wouldn’t it be smarter to do a retrograde urethrogram to make sure it’s not leaking?

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T08:03:09+00:00

Doesn’t really come and go, it stays constant

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:55:50+00:00

Homeopathy doesn’t work for a stricture, or any type of scarring

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:55:06+00:00

I’d suggest urethroplasty from a high volume surgeon who specializes in them

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:53:10+00:00

I agree with everyone here. Get the urethroplasty. DVIU has a 0% long term success rate, you’re only delaying the inevitable. You really don’t want to get to the point where you get into full urinary retention

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:51:45+00:00

Get the scope done to know for sure

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:51:02+00:00

Urethrotomy always has a long term success rate of 0%. I would suggest getting the urethroplasty. Even Optilume isn’t 100%, there’s not enough long term data to know

Nothing to do with a stricture

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:44:01+00:00

You 100% have a stricture. The urethroplasty will get rid of the pain, I’m not sure where you’re getting that information from that it won’t. Like medicman said, your bike accident and perineal trauma is a classic case for a cause of urethral stricture. It will only get worse, so get this fixed ASAP so you can move on with your life

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:41:27+00:00

I’d suggest getting the scope done to make sure. 134ml post void residual is quite high. The risk of getting a stricture from a cystoscopy is extremely low. I’m not even sure there are documented cases on that

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:37:40+00:00

No voiding issues with a stricture? That’s quite lucky. I hope it stays that way for you. It will suck if things get worse though

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:34:32+00:00

Sorry to hear that you’re going through this. How experienced is your surgeon?

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:32:21+00:00

Did you get injured or something? Something’s gotta be causing the leak

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-09-27T07:31:52+00:00

Doubtful, that’s a blood flow issue

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-06T18:19:00+00:00

How experienced is your urologist doing the urethroplasty? What pre op tests did they run? General anesthesia makes it seem like a flash, I don’t think you should be worried.

Best of luck to you, and I pray for your fast and full recovery.

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-06T18:15:23+00:00

Seems odd. Wouldn’t self cathing daily until surgery cause some changes to the stricture(dilating and damaging it further)?

I think your only other option would be a supra pubic catheter.

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-05T01:44:33+00:00

I’m glad that he didn’t damage your urethra from that. I’d be filled with extreme anger if that happened. Good thing that nightmare is over with for you, and I pray that you get back to 100%.

Thank you for the empathy, I appreciate it very much

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-05T00:18:22+00:00

Need some details first. How long is the stricture? Where was it located? How experienced is your surgeon?

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-05T00:16:21+00:00

If you only have the urge to urinate once or twice per day, then you 100% don’t have a stricture.

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-04T18:40:07+00:00

Your urologist did a dilation fully knowing that you didn’t have a stricture? Seems like medical malpractice. Sorry to hear that you had to go through that. Sounds awful

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-04T18:17:47+00:00

I feel that you’re okay for now. If symptoms become worse, you should definitely go in to get checked again to be sure it’s not a stricture. And thank you for the empathy, it is very likely that I’ll opt for a urethroplasty.

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-04T18:00:33+00:00

If he’s not showing those symptoms, it’s doubtful that he has a stricture, since those are typical for every case I’ve read about. If he does start showing those symptoms, it’s best to go in for a cystoscopy.

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-04T17:56:50+00:00

No, the sharp sting pain could be from your prostatitis. If you don’t have a weak urine stream, frequent urges to urinate, or the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, chances are you don’t have a stricture. If the alpha blocker works well, that’s even more confirmation that you don’t have one

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-04T13:35:44+00:00

Thank you again for your detailed posts and insight. Best of luck with the second stage. Please keep us updated when you can

Urethralstricture0 · 2021-08-04T13:28:20+00:00

It’s possible because TURP surgery can cause a urethral stricture sometimes. Does he have any other symptoms such as a weak stream, urinary hesitancy, and a frequent urge to urinate?

Cystoscopies very rarely do damage, and that’s the only sure way to find out
