I've started to pinch the glans hard to prevent urine from coming out through the tip of my penis when I urinate. I've been urinating through the new orifice and it's kind of fun and strange at the same time. Looks funny too, though you can't see much, but it appears as though there's excess folds of skin and I think these excess folds form a channel that still connect with the old urethra, which is why I still have urine coming out through the tip of my penis. It's not a strong stream coming through the tip of my penis and again it's because the majority of urine is pushing out through the new reroute.

I think this is the urologists fault, I kept asking for the permanent perenial uretheostomy (reroute) but she kept telling me that the temporary would be permanent unless I changed my mind, then it would be easier to put things back the way that it was. I kept telling her there was no reason for me to go back after the reroute, but she was stubborn. Anyways, it gives me some leverage when I talk to her again. I called in and reported the problem, we'll see what happens. She has not responded yet. Wonder if she suggests I go back under the knife if she'll remove the stupid bunched up scrotal skin?

I fully agree with this advice. i had an abscess and hematoma after my lingual removal. The pain was unbearable as well as the swelling. Follow the doctors orders and do not try to "forget" a step. I now have a nasty scar in my scrotum, as well as a fair amount of numbness as a result of the infection. DO WHAT THE DOC SAYS to avoid infection.

I agree. Make the uro fix it. My uro would not remove my entire ball after it was found with a cancerous tumor. Remove the bad tissue, put the healthy tissue back. BULL SHIT! He ended up going back and removing it all. I made sure he did a thorough job the second time. The post-op infection was a surprise! Now, i'm finally cured, but your doc needs to understand it's your body, and you are the boss. they listen, after a while...

I thought, "Well there's no urine coming out of it so why not lay it on top of the toilet seat while I pee?" Wrong! A little urine started spraying out the tip along with what was coming out the new reroute hole. I was not, am not, happy. I'll have to call the good doctor on Monday and tell her that she didn't totally seal off the urethra. Man, this is disturbing. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, I certainly don't want any additional surgery to fix the problem, I don't want to wear a catheter ever again, but we'll see what she says. That's about it for today. P.S. still have some numbness below the scrotum or what's left of my scrotum.

Seems to me that if she did a proper reroute there would not be any way for urine to exit from the penis. The urethra should exit the body with no connection to the remaining urethra segament in the penis.

HASH,

Before you even mentioned about the temporary`aspect of the reroute I expected the same. Just cutting a slit in the urethra is the easiest method of accomplishing a reroute as there are nerves that travel along the urethra. When a penectomy is done at the same time The urethra is usually severed and the end of it sutured to an opening in the skin, In that case since the penis is gone loosing sensation in the penis doesn't matter. The other aspect of using the slit method is that if you were to fore some reason change your mind the slit could be closed and you would regain normal function.

You are correct about the folds in the urethra that run along and in line with the urethra. I also experienced some urine coming out the tip of my penis when I did my reroute so I blocked off the end of my urethra. I was concerned about cleaning the unused portion for a while but I found that it cleans itself because of the folds. When I pee some urine still travels along the folds to the blockage and returns to the reroute opening keeping it clean. I have never had a problem with yeast building up or infection yet and I have had mine now for a couple years.

Your urologist may also be concerned about liability (or your best interest) if she blocked your urethra and you did change your mind.

NTL - I'm sure you will continue to have urine exit the old opening even after healing. The amount that comes out will be dependent on how the folds of skin are positioned at the time and how much restriction is present to push urine to the old opening. The other thing to consider is that since your reroute is below the scrotum and mine is above you would have a longer passage to keep clean. Your old urethra would have to either be sealed on both ends or for the entire length.

Thanks for all the great advice and suggestions. I'll keep ya'll posted, she didn't get back to me yesterday, but it's clearly not an emergency so I'll just wait and try to be patient.

HASH!! My friend, I'm so glad you're ok and healing properly. Man, it seems (like in MY case as well) that Uro's arn't really very skilled surgeons. If you remember that I, too, had some bad skin flaps and ugly surgery done by my Uro. I absolutely threw a huge tantrem in the hospital that they were compelled to get a plastic surgeon fix where the uro screwed up. Fortunately, as mentioned before, he also does srs's so he knows how to perform excellent surgery.

Don't take nonsense from her. It's your body. You pay them so demand what you want or threaten her to take things further. It's usually at THIS point they give in.

Now, if I were YOU, I'll start destroying my penis. Your uro might think it is their work that did not work well, so you might get a complementary penectomy and scrotal removal as well. But...that's just me.

Anyway, congrats and I hope all works out for you soon!

Blessings

I believe it has less to do with "lack of skill" and more to do with being overly cautious!

Called again and the nurse consulted with another urologist because mine was unavailable. The urologist told the nurse that it was normal for some urine to escape and cause dribbling. I told her it was not dribbling, it was a direct flow, not as powerful as normal, but a direct flow of

My doctor is supposed to call me, I'm waiting.

Good Luck to you.

Probably any revision or correction would be deferred to this surgery healing.

Just a guess.

A Urologist once punctured my dorsal urethra. I was pee-ing in my shank and scrotum.

It took a while to convince him he had to meet with me, NOW!

Hard to stay calm when my is blown up like a warm water balloon. It absorbed in 20 min.

He did meet me after repeated occurrences.

Urologist are considered the least "handy" of the surgeons. Deservingly so.

Best Wishes.
