Has anyone had an experience to share with urethra structures?
I have a divergent son who has been diagnosed
A birth defective and giving him now at age 38 great difficulty

I could use some input from a personal experience
Thank you-

A few years ago, my husband had a large kidney stone that could not be reached via surgery. They had to insert a tube in one kidney, and he had to wear a urine collection bag. My task was to measure his output and clean the tube with a saline solution. I've blocked so much out of my memory because it was such a stressful time. He had a couple more surgical procedures, and a stent was inserted. Finally, they were able to blast the stone with a laser. When all was said and done, he was told his ureter had loops/bends which made treating the stone nearly impossible. His diet includes many things that help prevent stone formation.

I realize our journey is different than yours, but I just wanted to say I hope he can be helped.
