WELCOME!

Welcome to the Urethral Stricture Support blog. These pages are intended to assist those with questions regarding the disease, expected outcomes, resources, and emotional and informational support. AT NO TIME WILL MEDICAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND BE RENDERED. With your permission, your commentary may be included within the topics discussed within this forum. Moderators Cesar and Tim have a combined 50 years (celebrating a half-century of difficult urination) of experience in living with, dealing with, and overcoming what is broadly considered a disease with a high rate of morbidity. We have experienced every common surgical and instrumental "fix"/"repair" offered including the implantation of the Urolume Endoprosthesis. Both moderators have experience with the Urolume Endoprosthesis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first and only such support group anywhere. Please, do not be afraid or embarrassed to ask any question with regards to your diagnosis. We encourage you to discuss any and all information offered within this blog with your Urologist. A proactive and informed patient usually receives the best care.

With your help, and well-considered posts, the information gleaned from this site should help the countless scores of males aged 18 and over who are encountering the diagnosis of "Urethral Stricture".

On a lighter note....

I absolutely despise Hank Hill, and his "narrow urethra"!

I'd love to know if Mike Judge, or any of the other staff of JUDGE-MENTAL PRODUCTIONS has a urethral stricture, or any idea of the life-long undertaking dealing with urethral stricture disease presents. I doubt very much if anyone at Judge-mental has had the pleasure of *"pissing through an eye dropper"* day-in, day-out for years on end. I've watched most of the episodes, and never once saw Hank visit an M.D. for treatment of any urinary malady. He didn't "poop" for a week once, and went the colonoscopy route, but I never saw the s.o.b. head to the Arlen Urology Clinic for a "Roto-Rooter ®" tune-up, or to get a "ream-job". Could you imagine the vocal intonations Hank would exude while having a 24-Fr Van Buren sound passed through his most delicate of areas. Never once did Hank say: "Peggy, I'm sorry, you'll have to scratch your own itch tonight, my scratcher's been through a lot today". ;) Per: Moderator Tim
