I had this done on Tuesday. I had it done under general. I woke up with no pain at all. A slight pain with the catheter in but the pain when they removed the catherter yesterday morning! OUCH!!

I ended up wetting myself a hour later, the stinging pain when passing urine! OUCH! its getting a little better now i can pee alot better, lets just hope another stricture does not form! ;)

I'm due to have this procedure on wednesday, I have been told it will be as a day patient and that I will be out the same day, is that normal?

is there any research going on to make urethotomy more successful

[m4553y]

I have uploaded a video on my profile. Before and after my operation of me peeing. It shows the improvement in flow rate after a urethrotomy operation.

Had this done last week. I was told to keep the large catheter in for 1 week (removed yesterday (oucheeee). Docs said that if this improves my flow and relieves the pain then if it refoms I will be put straight in for the urethroplasty as a permanent fix. I'm surprised this hasn't meen mentioned here.

hi again just for a tip for anyone who gets a infection like mine ,anytime i have gotten a infection i was put on ciprofloxan tabs 500mg twice a day (12hours between) for 7-14 days ,it costs 100euro to goto a hospitial in ireland and wait 6-8 hours(in a&e) to get the tab then extra 50 euro for your 2 week script (cost of tabs=2 euro each) so the last time i ordered some from india 30@250mg and 30@500mg the 250 got siezed by customs but the 500mg got thru ,

@roseofsharon71 thankyou for the reply send my best regards to your husband :)

@Twoblindmen2009 Yes, my husband is well, thank you. He said he was supposed to use the cath about once a week I think, but the surgeon that did the last surgery told him to use it every day for a certain amount of time, but I can't ask him right now what that time period was. To prevent infections, this surgeon told my husband to keep the cath stored in a gallon-size ziploc bag with iodine. I am also a firm believer in drinking plenty of cranberry juice and water to prevent infections.
