Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been diagnosed to have narrowed urethra and urethral dilatation has been carried out.

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Was an endoscopic Dilatation done or a dilatation was done by using metal dilators?
2) Have you consulted Urologist for clinical examination to confirm the diagnosis.of urethra narrowing ? (Because narrowing of urethra is very uncommon in females)

Narrowed urethra(Stricture) needs to be dilated at frequent intervals for a period of 3-4 months to achieve permanent results .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
