Brief Answer:
Read detail answer below .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up ..

I have seen all the photographs that you have uploaded and I have no doubt that you have BXO . You can consult one more Urologist to confirm the diagnosis.

The etiology of BXO is still not known ..

It has tendency to involve urethral opening causing narrowing of urethral opening (Meatal stenosis) and in later stage can spread to urethra causing stricture of the urethra.

Use of topical steroids helps to arrest further growth

It will not endanger your sexual life .

Thanks and Regards.
