Urology

I'll be having a stricture removed from my urethra next week. The surgeon will use a laser to remove it and then I'll have to have a catheter for 5-10 days to keep it dilated while healing.

The stricture is causing a weak urine stream and I'm not emptying my bladder enough - causing me to have to urinate frequently.

Has anyone had this done before? I'd like to know if it worked and if the stricture came back. Any info on how painful this was after the surgery would be useful as well.

Thank you

Anyone? Any info would help - there must be someone here that has had this surgery as it seems to be quite common. I'm simply concerned that it will not solve the problem and possibly cause even more problems.
