Are urethral polyps life-threatening (malignant)?
No. These are benign growths. However, all polyps are sent for biopsy after partial surgical removal for examination. When should treatment be instituted for meatal stenosis? While meatal stenosis is not an emergency, you should seek relief of this condition soon after diagnosis. Do all urethral duplications require surgery? Surgery is necessary only under certain circumstances, such as when it is accompanied by curvature of the penis causing two urinary streams. Surgery for this problem is fairly simple, focusing on dividing a common septum to allow a single urinary stream.
