I’m a bit embarrassed to post this.
I have a urethral stricture. I’ve had it since about the 6th grade (that’s when I started noticing a significant increase in pain while urinating).
I only recently just was diagnosed with it because pain has turned into bleeding on occasion. It’s downright embarrassing and my urologist suggested surgery for a permanent fix.
The thought of surgery down there completely terrifies me, I barely stayed conscious during the cystoscopy. Are there any people who have strictures as well? And if so are there any pain relieving tips you can suggest that doesn’t include sounding or stretching?
I know surgery might have to come later on in my life but I’d like to hold off until it has a better success rate. Thanks.
