Is there a permanent treatment for urethral stricture or can it be cured without surgery? If surgery is needed, which procedure has the best success rate?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Urethroplasty, a reconstructive surgery, is generally considered the most effective and permanent treatment for urethral stricture. It involves removing the scarred tissue and reconstructing the urethra, aiming for a lasting solution. While some less invasive options like dilation or internal urethrotomy exist, they often have lower success rates and higher recurrence rates.

I'm a 64-year-old guy, and I've had this high fever since yesterday. I'm also dealing with frequent Urination every couple of hours, but it feels like I have to go more than what actually comes out. My doctor suggested Citralka and Dolo, but I'm wondering if there's any other medication I should be taking? Could this frequent urination be a sign of something more serious?
CT value of 32 in your husband's RT-PCR test result indicates that the test detected a relatively low amount of viral RNA. This suggests that the infection is likely mild, and he may be less contagious . However, it's essential to note that CT values aren't always a perfect indicator of infectivity or symptom severity. Some studies have shown that people with high CT values (above 30) can still be infectious, although the likelihood decreases . Given your husband's mild symptoms, such as a cough and sore throat, and a high oxygen saturation level (SpO2 of 99), it's likely that he's experiencing a mild case of COVID-19.
