Urethral Stricture Treatment in India

Ayaan Jones, a 42-year-old construction foreman and father of two, had been ignoring a gradually worsening urinary stream for over a year, chalking it up to 'getting older.' His history included a pelvic fracture from a motorcycle accident in his 20s. The symptoms became impossible to ignore: straining to urinate, a weak, spraying stream, frequent nighttime trips, and a constant feeling of not fully emptying his bladder. It was affecting his sleep, his work focus, and his confidence on long job sites. His urologist, Dr. Evans, diagnosed a traumatic urethral stricture from the old injury. He recommended a direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU), explaining it as a minimally invasive procedure to cut the scar tissue and open the passage. Ayaan was anxious about the anesthesia and potential pain. The procedure itself was quick, under spinal anesthesia. The immediate relief upon waking was profound, he could urinate with a strong, single stream for the first time in years. Recovery involved a temporary catheter for a few days, which was uncomfortable but manageable. He followed a strict regimen of periodic self-dilation as instructed to prevent recurrence. Emotionally, he moved from stubborn denial and frustration to immense relief and a bit of regret for not seeking help sooner. He felt a renewed sense of vitality, freed from the constant, hidden burden.
