Understanding Urethral Stricture: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

What is Urethral Stricture?

Urethral stricture is a condition where the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body) becomes narrowed, making it difficult to urinate. This condition can affect men of all ages and can significantly impact quality of life.

Causes of Urethral Stricture

Urethral strictures can be caused by various factors:

• Infections: Recurrent urinary tract infections or sexually transmitted infections can lead to scarring
• Trauma: Injuries to the pelvic area or urethra
• Medical procedures: Catheterization or previous surgeries
• Inflammation: Chronic inflammation of the urethra
• Congenital: Some people are born with a narrow urethra
