"I did not know who else to ask about this. Lately, my urine stream was week and I called my doctor. As usual he instructed plenty of water, no caffeine and he prescribed some antibiotics. The next time I was in the shower I examined the tip of my glans and was shocked to discover that half of my opening had closed up. I found on-line that doctors do not know why it happens and my hands are tied and so are my doctors’ because I’m out of work and I have no medical insurance. What can I do? Thank you…… J"

First and foremost, I am not a physician. Any advice I dole out should not be taken as that of a medical professional. What I've been able to find is called Urethral Stricture. And according to the Urology Health there are several ways to treat this. 1. Urethral stretching, 2. Urethrotomy - cutting open the urethra with a laser, 3. Open Surgery - surgical procedure to remove the obstruction with possible reconstruction.

Not only does this depict uncut v cut, this shows urethral stricture

If possible, always begin with the simplest, least invasive treatment. That would be the Urethral Stretching. The doctor would insert a Sounding Rod to open the passage. It may take several treatments to fully accomplish this.

Because you don't have insurance and can't afford to see a Urologist, you could try this yourself. very, very carefully.

You would have get a Sounding Rod. One that you can sterilize with hot boiling water and alcohol both before and after you use it. You must find a lube, and make sure to keep the opening of the bottle clean. Wipe it down with alcohol before using it. Actually, I'd recommend a tube of old-fashioned KY Jelly, like your physician would use.

You cannot risk infection. Make sure the tip is narrow and then widens along the length of the rod. VERY GENTLY, push the rod into the urethra. Slowly!!! And, don't rush things. It may take weeks or even months to open it without damage.

I don't know for sure, but I would imagine this would be a lot easier and safer to accomplish with a full erection.

And, maybe with the assistance of someone you can trust to be cautious.

I know some of my readers are in the medical field. Let's see if any may have a suggestion - or perhaps experience with Sounding Rods.
