what food can i eat after perineal urethrostomy?

Accepted Answer

Not sure why you: Would have dietary restrictions after a perineal urethrostomy as the surgery is there to just direct the flow of urine to a different location.  Immediately after the surgery you may want to consider a bland diet as your body is recovering from anesthesia, but that is very quickly over. If you are really concerned why not ask the urologist completing the procedure.
