Wahib Zaidi3 Likes9 Answers A 61-year-old female have recurrent episodes of severe UTI every 6 months for the past 7-8 years. She is on continuous medication for 5 years. Now her urologist has diagnosed the cause as narrowing of urethral stricture and has suggested for surgical measures - OIU procedure. What is your opinion on this? Should she go for surgery or wait for some time after discontinuing the medicine to check if the episode occurs again.
