We provide expert diagnosis and treatment for urethral strictures—a condition where the urinary passage narrows, causing difficulty in urination and discomfort.
Our team uses cutting-edge diagnostic tools and minimally invasive surgical options to restore normal urinary flow and bladder function.
Every treatment plan is personalized, ensuring fast relief, improved quality of life, and long-term results with minimal discomfort or complications.
What is Urethral Stricture?
Understanding the Condition
Urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra due to injury, infection, inflammation, or previous surgeries that result in scar tissue formation.
This narrowing obstructs urine flow, leading to symptoms such as a weak stream, straining to urinate, incomplete bladder emptying, or urinary retention.
Severe or long-term strictures can lead to recurrent infections, bladder stones, or kidney damage if left untreated.
Symptoms to Watch For
Know When to Seek Help
Decreased urine stream, dribbling, or frequent urge to urinate—especially without full bladder relief—are signs of possible urethral narrowing.
Pain during urination, pelvic discomfort, or visible blood in urine may indicate underlying damage or obstruction.
Recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs) in men are often linked to undiagnosed urethral strictures.
Diagnosis & Evaluation
Pinpointing the Problem
We start with a thorough medical history, symptom review, and urine flow tests to assess the degree of obstruction.
Retrograde urethrogram (RUG) and cystoscopy allow direct visualization of the stricture and help determine its location, length, and severity.
Ultrasound and post-void residual scans may be used to check for bladder strain or retention caused by the blockage.
Treatment Options
Restoring Normal Urine Flow
Simple strictures may be treated with urethral dilation, gradually stretching the passage to improve urine flow without surgery.
Internal urethrotomy (VIU) involves endoscopic cutting of the stricture to quickly restore normal flow—ideal for shorter, first-time cases.
For complex or recurrent strictures, urethroplasty—a surgical reconstruction—offers a permanent, reliable solution with a high success rate.
Post-Treatment Recovery & Care
Supporting Long-Term Wellness
We provide follow-up care, catheter guidance, and bladder training to ensure proper healing after surgery or endoscopic procedures.
Patients receive ongoing support and lifestyle tips to prevent recurrence, including hydration advice and urinary hygiene practices.
Regular monitoring is recommended for patients with a history of strictures to catch early signs of recurrence and avoid complications.
