My dad has an Urethral Stricture and a week bladder, so the doctor suggested the below 2 options on which I want your opinion or suggestions
1) Grafting - where the doc will use the skin from inner cheek and use it to hold the urethra where it has narrowed down, however, since the bladder is week after the operation my dad may have to do self catheterization and grafting does not leave the inner part of the urethra smooth and it may obstruct self cathertization.
2) Make a small hole between Anus and Testicals which will become the option for urination and the penis will become a dummy. The only problem is he will have to sit while urinating.
Have you heard of option 2 or have any of you got it done? which is better? Please advise.

Kenneth,
I had a turp on Dec. 4, 2015. On May 13th of 2016 I could barely pass urine. I was placed on anesthesia and when the doctor looked he found excessive scar tissue had formed. He told me he made two cuts and the scar tissue "pulled back". My stream is getting weaker and I'm worried that the scar tissue has returned. I have indications that it is in the bulbar area. What caused your stricture? I dread having to go back again. I'm getting concerned now. How did you treat your stricture?

Scurry...I'm sorry that your having a problem. My urologist checks it every couple of month in the office with a cystosopy. So far it is doing good and he has told be that it 16c I guess I know if I have to have a catheter put in it has to me a 14fr or smaller. Nothing larger will go in. Has I said it is ok for know but we have talk about a couple of treatments . First a balloon dalation. to strach it open and if it get worst he would do a open urethroplasty with a graft. At may age I don't want to lose any of the urethra. If you want to chat send a praivate message be happy to chat Ken

I'm sorry but I never heard of that second one. I can ask my urologist about it if you like. I would go and get a second opinion. I think if he has the grafing done he should be fine. He may have to use a smaller catheter with alot of lube. They can also give him some meds to help his bladder.and he may pee on his own. If you would like to chat send me a private massage we can talk Ken
