Sometimes, cyclists can have some compression of their prostatic urethra from prolonged exposure to the bicycle seat. Doubt that it's std, but see your urologist to confirm.

It is not a stricture. Strictures take years to form. It is probably from the seat irritating your prostate area,. Stop that for a while and in the future do not use a 'banana' seat but a nice and comfortable one which does not irritate the area. See your Urologist. You will be fine- nothing to be terrified about.
