More Pee Pee Problems

In the past few days urination has been a problem. It concerns me a great deal because Uchida said about 16% of his patients have urethral stricture within 2 to 9 months of their operation. I am in my fifth week. This is diagnosed by a low flow rate which is what has been happening to me. He recommends "urethral dilation with metal sounds." I don't know what he is talking about but I don't think it is something I want.
The problem has been going on for about four days. I have a weak stream and have to pee frequently. I get up hourly at night. There is some discomfort in the penis when I pee. All this seemed to follow the period when I was having a lot of bleeding.
I don't know if a have a partial blockage or a constricted urethra because of swelling in the area. I am trying to force a lot of fluid through my system to clear it up. I am hesitant to call my local urologist because I am afraid he will default to a catheter or that dilation technique to which Uchida referred.
I hope it ends on its own soon. The nights ar no fun and having to do rushed searches for bathrooms when I am out is a pain.
