I've been dealing with a urethral stricture for the last 3 years and have been doing dilation regularly. Now I'm considering surgery what are my options and is it the right time to go for it

Endoscopic urethrotomy.This procedure uses a thin, tubelike tool that has a lens, called a cystoscope. The cystoscope goes into the urethra. Then a tool is put through the cystoscope to remove the stricture or treat it with a laser. This surgical procedure has a faster recovery than do some other procedures.

I'm trying to figure out which would be better to takePanegra 50, Caverta 50, or Manforce 50? Im also curious about what the recommended dosage would be for these and if they have any side effects. When would be the best time to take one of these?
Panegra 50, Caverta 50, and Manforce 50 are all brand names for **Sildenafil Citrate**, commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. The typical dosage is **50 mg**, taken **30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity**, and can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerance. Common side effects include **headache, dizziness, flushing, and indigestion**. It's important to avoid taking these with nitrate medications, as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Always follow your doctor's guidance for safe use.
