Is one urethral dialtor is good to keep using everyday? It is safe?

Question

My urologist gave me one urethral dialator and said to use is everyday and after your done to wash it in soap and water and use it over again

Answer 1

The reason why your doctor gave you a dilator is that your urethra is narrow (stricture). The dilator helps to keep it patent. Clean, intermittent use of the dilator is entirely safe and is, in fact, a standard practice in urology. Just be careful when you insert it so it wont traumatize your urethra. All you need to do is wash it w/ soap and water before use. And wash your hand before you handle it. You may use that dilator as long as it has not accumulated dirt. Since its cheap, you may replace it after 2-3 wks of use. By the way, use a lubricant like KY Jelly. It makes the insertion easier and less painful. Good luck!

Answer 2

Hello My friend,

First of all let me tell you that it is 100% safe if you do it safely and with complete precaution, I am a student and i am suffering from this disease since 8 year, i have already done a laser operation but unfortunately it din not work for me and i did not get the relief, few year after i go with open surgery and still it did not work for me, my doctor also suggest me to do the dialtor and i am doing it since 4 year on regular basis, so and now it is the part of my life to do it again and again, so don not take tension dear and do it properly as director by your physician.

Good Luck
