Was the surgery difficult to heal from?
The worst part was when I got home after cystoscopy and the lidocaine wore off. When I had to urinate the burning was extremely painful.
I’m considering going out to Rochester Mayo Clinic in the spring if things don’t improve. There are no urologists near me that do any kind of reconstructive work with strictures and the like. my psa is still undetectable at this point also.
Thankyou so much for sharing your experience.

@bfg1, Sorry for the late reply; things got a bit crazy in my life as if not crazy enough. For the meatal stenosis, the urologist basically had to put me under and stretched out the stenosis which allowed me to urinate really well. The urologist stated that it's possible the stenosis may return and if so, she'll have to do surgery which she stated is a type of surgery done often to correct the stenosis and is quite successful. So far, with the meatal dilation I had in Nov. of 2022, I've been urinating fine; I have noticed a slight change recently with maybe a slightly slower stream which has not effected my ability to urinate normally. However, I'm keeping an eye on it. I certainly hope things have improved for you; if not, as you said, I hope you'll seek some additional opinions on how you can get some help and relief. Good luck and stay positive. 🙂
