A urethral stricture can certainly be considered.
Testing options can include a cystoscopy to visualize any strictures or anatomical abnormality.
Dilating the stricture or placing a urethral stent can be considered.
Also, testing the urine for infection and STDs should also be routinely done.
These options should be discussed with your urologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
