MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Hello,
Bladder neck scarring and contracture is a common side effect after removal of prostate. Catherisation is the first treatment and if it does not benefit then it may require trimming out the scar tissue and injecting a cortisone-like solution to prevent the scar from returning.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
