A member asked:
My husband has urethral structure and needs to have dilation done which he has had a year ago bt has returned. can this lead to cancer in the future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it has no effect: Uretheral strictures are usually caused by inflammation(urethritis). Their main problem is obstruction to the flow of urine. So you need to remain under the care of a urologist for some years. No risk of Cancer developing due to a stricturt.
