    First of all let me ask u, where r u from and where is your treatment getting done?

    Second if they do cystoscopy request for a baloon dilation instead of cold/hot knife or laser.

    Hopefully that shoould help and its better than an incision.

    Third if it works out and you do your due deligence of self dialation it should solve the problem if not do then TRY NOT TO GET THE SECOND PROCEDURE in my opinion if the first time it didnt work then the second time it won't. Better urethroplasty.

    Depends also on how old you are and where is your treatment getting done.

    Good luck

    Buddy. I think your to young to go through that surgery. It can cause you a lot of problem. They have to go through and cut a lot of muscle and other thing to get to the urethra. For now try the dilation and see how it goes. I have one and it has not been a bother. I think it was the catheter that the doctors put in. I have had a 12 fr to a 25 fr 3 way. Last check it is good. Take care Ken
