Question 1

bleeding after urethrotomy. what did they do wrong?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: That's probably the most common side effect and usually goes away in a couple of weeks.

Question 2

what to do if i had urethrotomy surgery a few months before but i didnot do self catheterisation.can i do it now.?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if needed: Urethrotomy is usually done in the operating room under direct endoscopic vision to allow an incision of a stricture (narrowing) in the urethra to be done.  If you are asking about catheterization now, I assume that you were taught to do so, but didn't as symptoms better after surgery but now returning.  Can try cathing very gently but do not force catheter if resistance.  See your urologist.

Question 3

ureterotomy: what is this? what kind of doctor do you see for this? thx

Accepted Answer

Urologist: This is the enlarging of a narrowing of the urethra.  A urologist would perform this.

Question 4

when can i resume excersise and sexual intercourse after urethrotomy?

Accepted Answer

Urologist: These important questions must be answered by your urologist who performed your procedure. He/she knows the extent of surgery,the condition of the tissues involved in the surgery and the status of the urethra noted on the first postoperative examination.

Question 5

what is the cost of endoscopic surgery - optical internal urethrotomy?

Accepted Answer

DVIU: The majority of the cost is anesthesia and facility for the procedure in the us. Likely total all paid 2-3000 us $.

Question 6

in urethral stricture what is urethral dilation,  urethrotomy and urethroplasty and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each one?

Accepted Answer

It depends...: Dilation is simply stretching the area of the stricture. The others involve somewhat more extensive surgery. The best option varies widely from one case to another; none is always better or worse. The best option often cannot be determined until the procedure is underway. Your urologist can best explain all this.

Question 7

i have a retracted penis with possible strictures, i am unable to urinate while standing with out making a complete mess, and am completely unable to sit to urinate. would a perineal urethrostomy be a good option to help me?

Accepted Answer

: For symptoms as described, see a urologist (physician) for guidance.

Question 8

what would cause painless blood specs at the end of urination taking place during a bowel movement? resolved within 24 hours.
history: treated for urethral stricture by urethrotomy 4.5 years ago. adequate flow, no pain, no infection?

Accepted Answer

: Blood in the urine is unusual and not a good sign. Please do go back to your specialist, or have your G.P. referr you to your specialist and have him assess the situation.  It is importan that you completely understad the symptoms.

Question 9

what's a foley bladder catheter?

Accepted Answer

Helps to pee: A tube to help pee.

Question 10

will urethral stent removal be painful?

Accepted Answer

Very briefly.: An indwelling ureteral stent is removed in one of two ways. A quick pull on a little string to pull it out of the urethra, or by using a flexible scope to enter the bladder and pulling out the stent with forceps. Both can cause bladder discomfort and some flank pain as it is quickly removed. Some residual pain can linger for a day or two. Pain can be variable with many feeling no pain.
