Stricture Urethra

Stricture urethra, also known as urethral stricture, is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. This narrowing can lead to significant urinary problems and discomfort. Urethral strictures are most commonly caused by scar tissue, which can result from various factors including infections, trauma, surgical procedures, or inflammation.

Symptoms of urethral stricture can vary depending on the severity of the narrowing. Common symptoms include a reduced urine flow, difficulty starting urination, painful urination, frequent urination, a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, and recurrent urinary tract infections. In severe cases, complete blockage of the urethra can occur, leading to urinary retention and potential damage to the kidneys.
Diagnosis of urethral stricture involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as urethroscopy, retrograde urethrogram, or ultrasound. These tests help in determining the location, length, and severity of the stricture.
At Sanmati Uro-Gynae Clinic, we provide comprehensive care for patients with urethral stricture. Dr. Manoj Jain, an experienced urologist, offers a range of treatment options tailored to each patient's needs. Treatments may include minimally invasive procedures like dilation or urethrotomy, where the stricture is widened or incised to improve urine flow. In more severe cases, surgical reconstruction, known as urethroplasty, may be necessary to remove the scarred segment and restore normal urethral function.
Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial in managing urethral stricture effectively, preventing complications, and improving quality of life. If you experience symptoms of urethral stricture, schedule a consultation at Sanmati Uro-Gynae Clinic to receive expert care and personalized treatment plans from Dr. Manoj Jain.
