urethral constriction
Had chemo and then cystectomy 10 years ago. Last few years, kidney stones then UTIs, until lithotripsy for the stones. But have urethral constriction, so every 4 month I have stents put through my stoma. Has anyone heard of, or had the procedure done for the constriction using Optilume? Supposedly

coming off all hormones
hi warriors. I’ve bled for 73 days now since my surgery on 6th October. I’ve had options from my surgeon and they would effect fertility which I don’t want to do so we discussed coming off all contraception and using tranexemic acid on heavier days of my natural cycle. How many of you have used

Oesophageal Sphincter
Hello. My wife had gastro-oesophageal cancer 12 years ago and had surgery to remove the cancer. Thankfully all was successful and she leads a very normal life. As one knows, post surgery one cannot lie down flat as the oesophageal sphincter has been removed thus causing acid to come up from the stomach

After 16 years of pain I've been referred to gynae...
I'm 27 and I've endured debilitating pain during my period and ovulation and flooding during my period. The pain and bleeding rules my life. I'm finally seeing a gynae in March which is still so far away. I wonder when I'll be offered surgery? For YEARS I've been told that it's just ibs. I've given birth

I feel so anxious waiting for a diagnosis even though all my symptoms point to endometriosis, experiencing so much pain but not knowing officially why is driving me crazy?

Slight bleeding from incision
Hi I am on day 11 now since surgery and still getting bleeding on top left and some yellowish discharge. Some of my stiches have also come away due to night errections. Is this normal and how long will it take to heel? I appreciate any advice please. I had my circumcision due to suffering phimosis. Thanks
