A member asked:
Is chronic urethral inflammation considered a big risk factor for urethral cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
"Chronic urethral inflammation" is rare, if it occurs at all; and urethral cancer also extremely rare. This isn't something to be worried about.

Ch. urethral inflammation is very rare. Any chronic inflammation any where can lead to cancer- but does not always do so
