Post-Urethroplasty problems

Is it common to have problems after a Urethroplasty?  It seems like it is hard to start my stream.  My bladder is over-extended and maybe it just can't get enough pressure built up.  I am really concerned since I just got the catheter out a week ago ( after having it in for one month).  The stream seems a little better, less stopping and starting, but again it isn't like I'm peeing like a horse either.  I'm worried.

I thought I would go on here quick before I call my doctor.

Urethroplasties are very difficult operations and have a high chance of re-stricture. Contact the doc that did it SOONER not LATER and tell him you are having trouble. I promise he will take it seriously.

Good luck!
