Tips To Help Make Life With A Catheter A Little Easier
Living With A Urinary Catheter › Forums › Urethral Strictures And Their Treatments › What does a urethroplasty feel like?
All,
I’ve posted before regarding my pain and stricture discomfort. I am still undergoing diagnostics to understand why I feel like I need to urinate every waking minute of the day.
What I wanted to know is what does it feel like to have a urethroplasty?..
do your penis and muscles feel the same as before the surgery?..
can you flex your penis in the same way?..
are the messages to go to the toilet the same?
I am intrigued to know as at the moment my stricture feels terrible in my urethra. It is just at the junction of the bulbar where I sit so I am constantly ‘tingling’ down there, I only get restbite when I stand up. I often wake multiple times in the night with pain/urgency in my urethra and my stream is slowly subsiding to a trickle.
Be good to hear your experiences. I am definitely going to have it done when the time comes I don’t want to live in this condition for any longer than i have to.
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!
Thanks Lewis.
Pleased you’re doing well.
