Rare Urethral Blockage Successfully Treated in Woman
Imagine a pipe that carries pee gets blocked.
That happened to Sangeeta for a long time.
The doctors fixed it!
She had trouble peeing and it hurt.
Doctors used a special surgery.
They took a tiny piece of tissue from her cheek and used it to rebuild the blocked part.
It's like fixing a leaky pipe with a patch.
The surgery took a couple of hours.
Now, she can pee without any pain, and it’s all thanks to the doctors.
The blockage was caused by a previous childbirth.
The doctors made her feel better again.
Sangeeta Singh, 52, suffered from complete urethral blockage for 22 years.
The blockage caused severe difficulty and pain when urinating.
Previous medical interventions were denied due to the complexity of the case.
Doctors performed a ventral buccal graft urethroplasty using a cheek tissue graft.
The surgery was successful, and Singh can now urinate without pain.
