A urethral stricture is a narrowing of any part of the urethra. A stricture narrows the urinary stream and causes urinary problems. In addition it places a strain on the bladder as it tries to force urine through the narrowed urethra.
It is dedicated to men and women who suffer from urethral strictures. The problem, as I see it, is that no one is doing the proper research to cure urethral strictures.
Just recently, I met a man, who talked to me about urethral strictures. He is suffering his as a result of his prostate cancer treatment.
Every few months, he blocks up, can't urinate and has to go the emergency room to be catheterized. Then his urologist has to come in and dilate his urethra.
Before I met him, I was talking with a nurse whose husband has a urethral stricture. He has to dilate himself every month and take ciprofloxacin after the dilations.
This all got me to wondering, why can't we cure urethral strictures instead of putting men through all these dilations?
