Sir, I am 22 years old and had a bulbar urethral stricture operation on last 27th july. Then doctor advised me to use a catheter 1 time in every week (by me. Now I am using catheter in every week. But I got some drops of blood (4-5 drops) when I remove the catheter from urethra. Is it a problem? Sir, I still always feel discomfort on my urinary tract. Looks like I need to urinate after finishing urination. But I try to pass urine but a few drops of urine come by giving much pressure and stops and still discomfort works. By this process I can stay 3-4 hours. Is it a overactive bladder problem or urinary tract simply burning problem? Sir, now I am taking urotone 25 mg tablet once in a day. My urine flow (uroflowmetry) is normal. Please, reply me about the above two questions.

Hi lybrate-user, you are suffering from urethral stricture disease, by your history it is obvious that you have undergone viu or visual internal urethrotomy which is a temporary procedure to keep your urethra open. This is a reason why you have been advised self catheterization. You are bleeding while inserting catheter because your stricture has recurred. The only permanent solution to you problem is urethroplasty which will give you long term results.
