I hope this helps since I'm not sure exactly what it is you need.
Thank you so much for responding!
Urethral scarring (stricture) is quite uncommon in females (as we now know). There is surgery to correct this and it is usually a procedure for female urologists or reconstructive urologists. You probably need a urodynamic evalution to evaluate your bladder's function as well as evaluation of the length and caliber (opening size) and exact location of your sticture.
Hope this information helps.

Any suggestions on finding such a urologist?
Thank you so much for your responses.
Contact the medical centers in Nashville (usually associated with medical schools) and find their urology departments. Then make an appointment with someone sub-specializing in female urology.
Good luck!
