Hi. I was suffering from urethral stricture. I want under end to end anastomosis in 2008. I don't know what went wrong and after 45 days I was dilated 3 times. And went for VIU 3 times .this was all within 1.5 years. Now I am on self dilatation which is still very painful .if I don't do it for a week then there is problem in urination. Urine speed is in drops and it's painful. Every time I go to a urologist I have been suggested for operation. After all how many times can a person go for a surgery. please suggest medication.
