About Urethral Stricture

What is Urethral Stricture?

Urethral stricture is also known as urethral stenosis. It is generally a condition that is known to arise due to narrowing of the urethra. The urethra is the canal which carries the urine from the bladder towards the penis and pushes out the urethral meatus (i.e., known as the opening at the tip of the penis) during the process of urination.

Causes

Infections, bacteria

Inflammation of the urethra resulting from any kind of injury

Sexually transmitted diseases

Surgery for treating enlarged prostate, cancers, trauma

Symptoms

Decreased stream of urine

Urinary tract infections

Difficulty or feeling of pain while urinating

Incomplete emptying of the bladder

Spraying of the stream of urine

Urge of urination or increased frequency of urination

Treatment

Diagnosis

During the diagnosis of urethral stricture, the doctor would ask about the symptoms and the medical history of an individual and can also conduct a physical examination. After observing the symptoms, the doctor would recommend a list of below-mentioned tests for evaluating the cause, location and the length of the urethral stricture. The diagnostic tests are listed as below:

Urinalysis
Urethral ultrasound
Pelvic ultrasound
Urinary flow test
Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Retrograde urethrogram
Cystoscopy

Procedure

Catheterization

It is a treatment in which the physician inserts a very small tube (i.e., known as the catheter) into the bladder of an individual to drain out the urine.

Urethroplasty

This procedure involves surgical removal of the narrowed part of urethra to enlarge that. This procedure usually involves the reconstruction of the surrounding tissues of the urethra. Tissues from other areas of the body, such as from the skin or the mouth, may be used as a graft for reconstructing the urethra. The recurrence of urethral stricture after a urethroplasty process is very rare and is also one of the most preferred treatments.

Endoscopic urethrotomy

In this process, the doctor inserts a very thin optical device (i.e., known as the cystoscope) into the urethra, then inserts a small instrument through the cystoscope in order to remove the urethral stricture or vaporize it with the help of a laser light. This surgical procedure is one of the most advanced technique used that usually offers a faster recovery process, minimal scarring and have less risk of recurrent infection.

Most Frequently Asked Questions by Urethral stricture patients

Is urethral stricture curable?

Some patients suffering from severe urethral strictures are unable to urinate completely. Urethral stricture can be curable with the help of antibiotics and by definitive treatment of urethral stricture.

How long does it take to recover through urethral stricture surgery?

A catheter remains inside the urethra for around two to three weeks after the urethral stricture surgery to help the individual with urination while the urethra heals. The long-term success rate of the urethroplasty procedure is very high. About 80 to 90 percent of people who have undergone urethroplasty can expect permanent relief from the urethral stricture.

Is a urethral stricture painful?

A urethral stricture is a condition which is narrowing of the urethra, which is a tube through which urine leaves the bladder and exits the body completely. This narrowing usually causes difficulty with the passage of urine, including a strain and painful feeling in the urethra.

How common is the urethral stricture disease?

Men are more likely to have urethral stricture disease or injury in comparison to women because of their longer urethra. They are very rare in women and in infants.

Which is the best treatment for urethral stricture disease?

The recurrence of urethral stricture after a urethroplasty is very less. Endoscopic urethrotomy is the procedure, in which the doctor inserts a thin optical device (i.e., cystoscope) into the urethra, and then inserts instruments through the cystoscope for the removal of the stricture or vaporize it with the help of a laser.
