Thank you for that information.  THat does make me feel a little
better.

When you mentioned "spasm" in the penis, what exactly does that feel
like?  Because the pain I experience, like I said feel like a sting as
the urine flows over a, waht feels like a cut, but if I had to
describe it to a doctor I actually might use the word "spasm".   When
it happens, It does take my breath away for a minute when I am not
expecting it.  Hopefully what I am expereincig is not the same as a
spasm, like you mentioned.  I called the nurse at my Urologists
office, and after she asked the doctor, she said that it is probably
just due to the prostate being irritated or something like that, and
it should disipate.  I really dont understand what the prostate has to
do with the tip of the penis.  Not that I dont believe it, but I would
like to understand more.

But anyway, thanks again.

Thanks for the information.  I am also trying to gather some statistic
on how many people feel 100% confident in their Urologist.  I have been
visiting the same Urologist for about 9 months.  I was diagnosed with a
Urethral Stricture and that is why I was dilated.  I had a catheter in
for 10 days after dilation.  Originally he was going to do a
Urethrotemy using laser, and that is what I was expecting as I went
into the hospital.  But when he finally arrived he said he had changed
his mind and would just do a Dilation first to see if that cleatred up
the stricture.  He thinking was, "Why do too much when dialtion may
work."  What I gathered was he wasn't entirley confident in doing the
other procedure.

Have you ever had an expereicne where you get the impression that your
Urologist is not always as confident as he should be?  I will also add
I am located in Washington DC.

Thanks.
