Past History : 1) April/May, 1996 : Suddenly I was suffering from burning and obstruction in releasing urine. I was then 42 years old. Optical urethrotomy was done on 31.05.1996 on a wrong diagnosis considering stricture urethra. Thereafter, I did not feel comfort. Rather, so many problems, such as, burning of urine, frequent discharge of urine, continuous pinching inside the whole abdomen, obstruction in releasing of urine with incomplete voiding, sometimes 40-60CC urine remained inside after discharging, severe thigh (muscles) & back pain, little pain on the whole of lower abdomen including bladder neck problem developed with me. Since then, I have been suffering urological problems. 2) June, 2001 : Lithotripsy was successfully was done to disintegrate a stone of 7mm in my left ureter in CMC Hospital, Vellore, India. Please advise me your valuable suggestions ( whether operation is necessary or medicinal treatment is okay) in this regard for which I shall remain ever grateful to you. I shall provide you with further information about my problems, if needed. Please also let me know about price, procedures, experience of doctors and duration of stay in the hospital. With regards.
