Daycare treatment
Proving to be a very promising treatment
Special Precautions
- Very rigid aseptic precautions
- Properly sterilized medicine
Calibration of Urethra
- Calibration of the urethra is the procedure to restore the normal caliber of the urethra.
- For calibration, catheters are introduced into the urethra from a smaller size (10FG) to a bigger one (20FG) and it is to be done very gently.
- Calibration of the urethra is mainly done in the case of urethral stricture.
- It is done under local anesthesia using an anesthetic gel.
- Calibration is generally painless & bloodless as well.
- As a precautionary measure, an intensivist is kept standby during the whole procedure of calibration for apprehensive patients & patients with co-morbidities.
Note: Very rarely in patients with a very tight stricture urethra is not negotiable even with a small size catheter. For such patients, we advise balloon dilatation of urethra.

Results of Uttarbasti
- Results of Uttarbasti treatment may vary from patient to patient.
- Results of Uttarbasti are assessed clinically and by comparison between pre and post-treatment investigations like Urethrogram and Uroflowmetry.
- Uroflowmetry is done before the commencement of the treatment & is repeated after calibration (generally on 14th day).
- Urethrogram is recommended after one month of the last sitting as sometimes the procedure or the dye used may irritate if done immediately after the treatment.
- The results of Uttarbasti are irrespective of site, size, and extent of stricture.
- Very rarely some patients may require additional sittings after some years.
- According to my experience in this field, Uttarbasti is proving to be a CURE for urethral stricture.
Recurrence after Uttarbasti
Rarely, in some patients, the flow of urine gets compromised after some time (a few months to years) of the Uttarbasti treatment & they require additional sittings of Uttarbasti.
Patients with the following conditions may require additional sittings of Uttarbasti:
- Who have very hard stricture scar tissue
- Who underwent multiple surgeries
- After urethroplasty
- After multi-stage hypospadiasis repair
- Who were on regular clean intermittent self-catheterization since long
- Patients with BXO

Precautions to be taken during & after the treatment of Uttarbasti
- Drink a lot of water to keep urine white – just like water
- The urge of urine should neither be ignored nor forced
- Avoid any kind of sexual activity during & at least for three months after Uttarbasti
- Avoid unnecessary catheterization or instrumentation in the urethra
