Thanks Jeff. Done the usual searches but just looking if anyone has any personal experience of this. Seems only a small % get it. Can be linked to using too large a catheter. (Std is size 18 I believe)

@risa6069 I had stricture at junction of bladder and urethra due to excessive straining on the toilet.
Wire fulguration did the trick and so far🤞it’s been good.
Yours is in an odd place but who knows? I think they excise the tissue and put a stent in place to direct tissue growth ‘around’ the surgical site. Best,
Phil
