No, but of course that is always good.
They do dilation when your urethra is a little or a lot tight. When that happens, it can feel like you have an infection or irritation and may not be able to empty your bladder completely, which could ultimately lead to infections in numerous places.
They use surgical instruments, starting with very narrow ones, gradually increasing in size to “stretch open” your urethra. Takes a minute or two, not very comfortable but it is magical in its results. That “feeling” goes away and you can fully empty your bladder. 🤞
