Imagine being put under anaesthesia 16 times, each time with the hope of getting better-only to wake up to disappointment and find yourself in the same condition.

Being cut open or stitched up with promises of relief, only for the pain, swelling, and urinary retention to return after each procedure.

Passing urine-a simple act many take for granted-becomes a daily ordeal.

The anxiety before each bathroom visit, the shame and stigma that creep in uninvited, and the exhaustion of being treated like a medical anomaly rather than a young man whose life is on hold.
