In answer to your questions. I had a non-transecting urethroplasty last year to that a 2.5cm bulbar stricture.
What I wanted to know is what does it feel like to have a urethroplasty?..
It is painful for the first few days/week. Sitting down can be uncomfortable. The catheter is the most annoying part. I didn’t experience much pain at the incision site at all.
do your penis and muscles feel the same as before the surgery?..
Exactly the same. It took a couple of months after catheter removal for everything to return back to normal size. Testicles swelled up massive and lost some length of my erect penis but this has returned back to normal. The only issue is I have some ongoing pain in my scrotum.
can you flex your penis in the same way?..
Yes. Sex is even better as ejaculation is easier.
are the messages to go to the toilet the same?
yes, you know when you need the toilet. It just doesn’t happen as often!
