Should I switch catheter sizes or undergo OIU again?

Patient's Query

Hey I am structure bulbar urethra patient from 2012 was under self catherisation CIC underwent oiu for 3 times during this time 2 times in 2012 while one time in 2022 now feeling rough with catheter 18 fg size should I switch to 12 and 14 size or should I go for oiu again one doctor I showed rgu and mcu reports he said right now with catheter things will be normal what should I do here

Answered by Dr. Neeta Verma

The rough feeling you're experiencing with the current 18 French catheter could be due to its size or maybe some irritation in the urethra. Switching to a smaller size like 12 or 14 French might help reduce the discomfort. It's great that you've had some tests done, and it's reassuring that the urologist mentioned things may normalize while you have the catheter in place. I'd suggest discussing the option of trying a smaller catheter size with your doctor to see if that improves your comfort.

I'm 40 year old male , what can I use for STIs or drop?? Something growing outside my penis

Male | 40

You might have an STI or maybe genital warts. Accompaniments can consist of growths or even bumps on the outside of the penis. STIs come from bacteria or viruses from sex without protection. A doctor's visit is the best for diagnosis and treatment. The doctor might give you medications or recommend procedures to remove the warts.

What are the reasons for urine leakage? How do we identify that there is a leakage or vaginal discharge?

Urinary incontinence, urinary tract infection overactive bladder or weak pelvic muscles are the condition which can causes leakage of urine. Consultation with a urologist or gynecologist is necessary to diagnose the basic cause and give proper treatment. In contrast, vaginal discharge is a normal natural function that can vary in color and texture throughout the menstrual cycle.

Robotic surgery can be a treatment option but there are other treatments too like medications, lifestyle changes etc. Based on the severity of your condition, and after seeing the reports physically, the best treatment for you can be decided.

Hello Doctor I am 47 years old male and I have problem with low sperms and my semen analysis report says - sections from both sides show occasional seminiferous tubules(<5) with absence of spermatogenesis. Please tell me what is this issue and how to cure it. Thank you Regards, Fahim

Male | 47

Your situation may involve nonobstructive­ azoospermia. This condition prevents spe­rm production in the testicles. You might e­xperience difficulty conce­iving children. Hormonal issues could also arise. To address this challe­nge, doctors will e­valuate you thoroughly. Treatments like­ hormone therapy or reproductive­ assistance may help.

My wife has jalan in urine ek hafte se . What is the reason behind it . Is it from excessive masturbation?

Female | 21

Aapki wife ka urine mein jalan hona kayi karanon se ho sakta hai, jaise urinary tract infection, dehydration, ya irritation. Excessive masturbation is unlikely to be the main reason. Woh agar dusre symptoms jaise fever, back pain, ya frequent urination feel kar rahi hain, toh yeh zaroori hai ki wo urologistse sampark karein. Aap dono ko paani peene par dhyaan dena chahiye, aur agar symptoms continue karte hain, toh medical check-up lena best option hoga.

I have undescended testicle at age 27 . Semen analysis is nil sperm count . Please suggest treatment

Male | 27

You likely have­ an undescended te­sticle. This means it didn't desce­nd into the scrotum before birth. An unde­scended testicle­ often leads to zero spe­rm count. You may have no semen, indicating the­ condition. Fixing this might require surgery. Moving the­ testicle properly some­times helps boost sperm production. Howe­ver, not every case­ responds favorably to this procedure.
