Patient's question:
In 2005, difficulty urinating was discovered. A check-up at the Kashgar Regional Hospital revealed chronic prostatitis. Subsequently, difficulty urinating occurred multiple times, with intermittent episodes of incontinence, which could be managed for half a year without recurrence. In 2009, treatment was sought at the Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, where urethral dilation was performed. After dilation, urination became smooth, but the condition narrowed again within less than half a year. Starting in June of this year, the condition became highly frequent, with symptoms recurring within less than 10 days after hospital treatment. On August 2, another urethral dilation was performed, beginning with a 16F catheter and later expanded to 22F. The doctor informed me that the condition cannot be cured and that dilation is required every two weeks.Doctor's answer:
Hello, male congenital urethral meatus stenosis is a common disease in urology. Surgery is the only means of treating this condition, with common surgical procedures including urethral meatus shaping. Additionally, urethral dilation also has a certain therapeutic effect, but the results are suboptimal. Therefore, urethral meatus shaping can be considered.
