Urethral Stricture Question (Curious )

Just curious about an "after effect" after my DaVinci (Which was the end of January, so going on 4 months )-- Everything has been " great" undectable PSA"...

But....as some people here are aware-- I am a bit (well...more than "a bit" ) of a hypochondriac (You should read some of my posts--from yrs ago under the Cardio section/IBS & some neurological..I like to "mix it up"!

Anyway--to the point in question- a couple weeks after my DaVinci...I noticed when sitting on the toilet...for a BM.....(and when I pushed a ) often...a real hard..BURST of urine would come out..!!
So much..I had to use of cup to catch it....- BUT.....when this happened..I noticed an "uncomfortable" feeling....in my urethra--as tho--the Urine stream was TOO hard for the urethra--so...then before I "pushed " .....I would just.... gently.. push..the urine would come out...not a forceful....& hence no "strange feeling" --then..I could push...for the BM...(NOT all the time--of course )- !

And....also noticed --now that I am continent....when I yawn....a very small DROP of clear urine slowly comes out (Maybe the relaxing of the muscle )-- BUT.....NOW.I am WORRIED..I may have
"Urethral stricture" (You know...when scar tissue...forms in the urethra..)--

My urinations are good...& empty my bladder well....BUT....it is these two things....(The uncomfortable feeling when pressing down for a BM--& urine shoots out--not as much now)-....And...this very small "One drop" dribble--after each yawn...(Sometimes I yawn,..2 or 3 times in a row )

My question(s)--

-1-is urethral stricture...common after DaVinci...?
IF it is...I have been researching this on the internet...(Only the last 2 or 3 days...hence have not have the chance to call my Uro..will do--Tues-- After the Holiday...)

2) OK....any thoughts on this..? Anyone here...after the surgery ever...get Urethral stricture...?

3) If one has had it...which of the various procedures are used..?

My "Gut Feeling" is..I do NOT have this (Which has been the case--in the past--in over 95% of my "Worries"---)-...But,...I am curious any way...!

I am hoping to hear from a few guys here....not much written about this..

I think all of us after RALP have occasional drips and drabs at seemingly random times. Yawning, coughing, etc. I've noticed that those drips are worse, more common, more frequent when I have too LITTLE fluids in my system--it's like the muscles need something to push against maybe.

From what I've heard about strictures, the symptom is that you can't pee or fully empty when you need to. At their worst, you can't pee AT ALL and wind up self-catheterizing. So, different symptom.

Hang in there.
