Hi,

It can be very frustrating to undergo an operation and the relief appears temporary. It is also understandable, that you would have some reservations about going for another treatment, more so if it seems to be of a similar nature to the previous procedure.  
The need and the success for a re-treatment would depend on the nature of the problem, whether it is a stricture, bladder neck-related… it is best you discuss these specifics with your doctor, as the approach and the procedure may vary, hence success rates as well for long-term symptom control.
