Female Urethral Stricture disease
Posted , 4 users are following.
Ive been suffering with this most of my life. Had my 10th dilation this yr but if no use, flow is no better & urethritis is always there, can only drink small amounts of water . I'm now being told I have to wait for a Urethroplasty using Buccal mucosa. I'm fearful of being left incontinent. Anybody out there who can tell me the success rates? Anyone who would recommend going through with it? I'd be forever grateful for any help. Cheers, M

Hi Magic
I had the surgery at the end of July and I'm well. I had a catheter in for about eights weeks as my healing was slower than expected but not that uncommon. The best thing is I can pee normally first time in years as before I had to self catheterise As my only means of peeing . Please ask away if I can help with any information
Very best

Hi Sarah,
That's wonderful, I am delighted for you that you can function normally. How did you manage with the indwelling catheter for 8 weeks? We're you able to walk around?

Hi Yvette,
I am sorry, I am only reading your message now. Urethroplasty will involve removing & replacing the urethra with a graft. It depends on where your stricture is, an MCUG test will show this. I had to have a dilation done to be able to fit the catheter for the test. Ask your Uro about this. Best of luck

I haven’t tried bee pollen, don’t see how it can cure a physical defect. I will read up on it though.
