Aditya Reddy, a 58-year-old retired school...
Aditya Reddy, a 58-year-old retired school principal from Hyderabad, had a history of recurrent urinary tract infections. Over the past year, he noticed a weakening stream, frequent straining, and a constant feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, which was deeply frustrating for a man who valued his independence. His urologist, after a cystoscopy, diagnosed a urethral stricture, likely a long-term complication from a childhood injury. The doctor recommended a 'Dilatation of Stricture Urethra under General Anaesthesia' to gently stretch and open the narrowed passage. Aditya was anxious about the anaesthesia and the procedure's success. The surgery itself was smooth; he woke up with a catheter, which was removed the next day. Recovery involved some burning during urination for a few days, which gradually subsided. Within two weeks, his flow was significantly stronger and more complete. Emotionally, he moved from a state of quiet embarrassment and worry about his health to profound relief and regained confidence, feeling like he had reclaimed a fundamental part of his daily comfort and dignity.
