Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Minutes, unless: A urethral stricture is split during dilatation, dilatation was carried out more than 2 dilator sizes sizes beyond a snug fit. Pain is minimized if Lidocaine gel is squeezed into the urethra a few minutes before the dilation.
