Brief Answer:
There is chance that it might cause discomfort.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There is chance that it might cause discomfort.

Treatment depends on the severity of damage that has caused scar and also if the trauma would have been significant, there is chance of stricture formation later. This is a rare situation.

Management: A urethrogram and cystoscopy helps in diagnosing properly. Also, the treatment depends in severity of discomfort and varies from conservative approach to surgical intervention based on investigation results and treatment response.

Hope it helps!
