Talk:Urethral stricture

message: Added a few lines on the causes. Pain on micturition is not, in my experience, a common presenting feature of urethral strictures. Jfbcubed 13:35, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Added

message: The reasoning behind this is the fact that the anatomy of the female urethra is so vastly different from that of the male, which includes the penis, urethra, the bulbar urethra, the ejaculatory duct, the urinary sphincter, and the prostate (with its musculature). The female urethra is essentially composed of the urethra, the urinary sphincter, and the urinary meatus.
The diagnostic and treatment regimen for female stricture disease is also vastly different from that of the male.75.97.65.10 (talk) 18:48, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe a good case has been made for such a division, so would support it.  One of the failings of the present articles on urethral disease and treatment is an often tacit assumption either as to the patient's sex, or of sufficient medical knowledge to determine the patient's sex from the anatomical terms used.  Separating the two discussions would make it less likely that this problem would recur. yoyo (talk) 17:16, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. So far I have seen females mentioned only once in the handful of urethra-related articles I've read. The problem may be finding someone to write them. I had a (female) urethrotomy back in 1971, but that's not a source (lol), and I cannot do a literature search anytime soon. I don't have email, so if someone can email our resident urologist maybe he can help. Ukrpickaxe (talk) 15:23, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recommend defining [[Urethral stricture]] into two categories, Urethral Stricture - Male, and Urethral Stricture - Female 

message: Recently, a reference to an Ayurvedic treatment of strictures known as Uttarbasti was posted within the linked references section.  Although the link appears to be commercial, and of pecuniary interest to the owner of the site, two of my patients have elected to undergo the urethral instillation of certain Ayurvedic oils and medications into the urethra  for treatment of their disorder, and reported favorable results (although not to the point of being considered a "cure"). They each had an approximate 50% improvement in their Uroflowmetry, and have, as yet, required no additional prescriptions for antibiotics for UTI's.

message: FYI: I am (slowly) on the process of editing the urethral surgery pages to comply with current medical standards/practices and journal info. I will attempt to have continuity within those pages, so please, bear with me. If any questions, please email. PA MD0351XXE (talk) 00:56, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Have just now read your comment here, having followed the link to a discussion of a proposed merger of Meatal stenosis and Urethral stricture.  I apologise for not reading the Talk page first; but I have made several small—and fairly obvious—edits to Urethral stricture today to improve clarity for the lay reader.  I hope these minor changes will not greatly disrupt your work, but if you find it necessary to revert, please do so.  However, I'd ask you to retain the clarifications of such arcana as "filiform" and "bougie", as well—naturally!—as the correct spelling of "dilatation". yoyo (talk) 17:07, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article in progress 

message: Dr. Anthony Atala, director of the Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine has pioneered the first laboratory grown human urethra(s) which were successfully transplanted into humans. I am attempting to contact him for an update of the progress of efficacy trials, and will post the reply on this page when received. This, in my opinion, offers the best hope for revision and repair for the severely compromised male human urethra, and I expect similar findings in with female recipients .

thread_title:  Bioengineered urethral research 

message: I'm not sure whether the name parameter in the infobox (not the page title) should be structure or stricture. It's been changed more than once. If we get a consensus, we can tag it with a "do not change me" remark.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk  14:10, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It's supposed to be stricture, if it conforms to other medical articles. The problem is that it sits over an illustration of the structure of the GU tract. I suggest sourcing an illustration of an actual stricture, using that instead, and changing text to "stricture". Ratel (talk) 00:39, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

text: That works for me. I Googled images for strictures and was overwhelmed by the choices. I changed the article, including adding the comment.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk  01:57, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
