Urethral Stricture

Urethral stricture occurs when scar tissue forms in the urethra — the channel that carries urine out of the bladder. This condition can cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty in urination, substantially impacting men’s health and quality of life.

Difficulty urinating or complete inability to urinate
Weak urinary stream
Frequent urinary tract infections
Pain during urination
Urinary retention

A comprehensive diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and may include:

Cystoscopy: A direct visualization of the stricture using a small camera.

Retrograde Urethrogram: An X-ray study with contrast to pinpoint the stricture's exact location.

We specialize in cutting-edge treatments for urethral strictures that aim not only to relieve symptoms but also to address the root cause with long-term solutions.
