My doctor mentioned something about a urethral stricture and suggested surgery. I'm just really anxious about all this and looking for some guidance. Could you shed some light on what this means and if surgery is the only option?

I'm a 26-year-old guy and I've been really stressed about an issue I'm having. There's this membrane-like thing that seems to prevent my foreskin from pulling back properly, and it really stings if I try to force it. I came across some info online and I think it might be the frenulum. It's affecting my relationship and Im really worried about it.

For a case of borderline prostatomegaly, with a prostate volume of 224cc and a prior TURP, a repeat TURP may not be the first course of action.
