Urethral stricture
Posted , 3 users are following.
My 27 year old special needs had a urethral stricture. Had urethrotomy on Thursday, in overnight and catheter taken out next day and sent home. Previous ops he had 2 strictures, this time he had 3. Sttill having lots of pain to urinate but flow better than before. I am praying it doesnt return again as urethroplasty is next in line. Feel so sorry for him.

Sounds like the op went ok, although I know it is hard for your son to deal with. (And of course for you too.) I do hope it holds this time. Best wishes to you both.

I'm 21 and recently was diagnosed with at least two urethral strictures. The urologist wants to do a dilation procedure and I was just wondering if there is any hope for a successful procedure or if I should just opt for surgery/reconstruction?? It seems like these dilation procedures tend to have high recurrence rates...
Thanks,
Ben

I don't know much about urethraplasty, but wouldn't it be kinder to you and your son, karen, just to get on and do it rather than put him through the same traumatic and ineffective process every three or four months?

Well, I do hope that this latest op holds for as long as possible. Best wishes to you both.
