Transposition of the urethra is a urologic operation performed to raise the urethra 1-1.5 cm higher from the entrance to the vagina.
Transposition of the urethra - indications for conduction
There is a category of women who deliberately refuse to have sex, due to the constant exacerbation of cystitis that occurs after sex. Often the cause of inflammation is a conditionally pathogenic microflora, which penetrates from the vagina into the bladder during sexual intercourse. This state of affairs is due to anatomical disorders: low position of the urethra or excessive mobility.
In this regard, the only true solution to date, which is able to rid the woman of chronic postcoital cystitis - is the transposition of the urethra. The essence of the transposition of the urethra in women is the displacement of the external opening of the urethra slightly higher. Simultaneously, when moving, there is an insignificant stretching of its walls and as a result - a decrease in the lumen and mobility of the urethra.
Terms of the procedure
Transposition of the urethra in women is performed on an outpatient basis, less often in a hospital depending on the choice of anesthesia (local or spinal anesthesia, as well as general anesthesia).
For an experienced specialist this operation presents no difficulties. The rehabilitation period takes about a month, at this time it is recommended to abandon the sexual life,
Do not forget that transposition of the urethra is a surgical intervention and it is contraindicated in such cases:
- acute inflammatory processes in the genitourinary tract or vagina;
- It is undesirable to perform surgery in nulliparous women;
- menstrual bleeding, as well as a few days before and after.
If done correctly, the transposition of the urethra helps to forget about the problems of the bladder once and for all and not be afraid to have an active sexual life.
