Patient's question:
The doctor performed a penile and testicular resection two months ago. He also created a urinary diversion and inserted a catheter into the urethra. After one month, the catheter was removed. Now, the urethra has healed, and I can no longer urinate from below. The doctor said that I can only rely on the urinary diversion, but I am young and don't want to spend the rest of my life wearing a urinary bag. Doctor, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the only option is to first perform a bladder diversion, and then assess whether urethral repair surgery is feasible based on the situation. In your case, the only option is to first perform a bladder diversion, and then assess whether urethral repair surgery is feasible. This may potentially restore normal urination. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and follow a proper diet during the treatment period.
