Is there any way to treat a urethral stricture without surgery or using a catheter? I've heard about urethral dilation with a catheter in Uttar Basti, but I'd prefer to avoid that. Are there any effective medicines or non-invasive treatments that can help?

While urethral dilation with a catheter in Uttar Basti (likely referring to a specific technique) and surgery are the primary treatments for urethral strictures, there are some other non-invasive options and medications that can help manage the condition and its symptoms

I've noticed this hard vein near the tip of my penis for the last three weeks, and it's running about halfway down the shaft. I'm unsure how it appeared or whether it might be linked to having a cyst in my groin. What could this be? Should I be worried, and is there something I can do about it?
