Osteochondroma
Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such as your brain.Tumors are made up of extra cells. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as your body needs them. When cells grow old, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes, this process goes wrong. New cells form when your body does not need them, and old cells do not die when they should. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form tumor.Treatment often involves surgery. Benign tumors usually don't grow back.NIH: National Cancer Institute

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.
