Urethral Stenosis

Urethral stenosis is a condition in which the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body from the bladder, becomes narrowed or constricted. This can make it difficult or impossible to urinate or may cause urine to flow in a weak or slow stream.

Urethral stenosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, infection, inflammation, and certain medical conditions such as urethral cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia. Certain medical procedures such as urethral dilation or urethral surgery can also lead to urethral stenosis.

Symptoms of urethral stenosis can include difficulty urinating, a weak or slow urine stream, frequent urination, and the feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. In severe cases, the urethra may become completely blocked, causing the bladder to become distended and leading to severe pain and the need for emergency treatment.

The treatment for urethral stenosis can include a combination of medical and surgical options. Depending on the underlying cause and the degree of stenosis, treatment may include urethral dilation, urethrotomy, and urethroplasty. Urethral dilation is a procedure in which a small instrument is used to stretch the urethra. Urethrotomy is a procedure in which a small incision is made in the urethra to relieve the stenosis. Urethroplasty is a surgical procedure that reconstructs the urethra to improve its function.

It is important to note that urethral stenosis can be a serious condition and it is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing symptoms. An early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and improve the outcome.
