This can happen for any number of reasons, including prostate infections, cancer, STDs, and injuries to the penis.Urethral narrowing is a condition that affects many men and can cause urinary difficulties. But the good news for men with urethral narrowing is as they now have a choice of treatment that is likely to be effective for them.
What’s the issue? The main issue with urethral narrowing is that it can cause urinary retention, which is a condition where urine accumulates in the bladder and cannot be passed. This can lead to a number of serious complications, including kidney damage, infection, and even death.
What’s new? There are several treatment options for urethral stricture, including dilation (widening of the urethra), urethroplasty (surgical repair of the urethra), and stent placement. In some cases, a combination of these treatments may be necessary. The type of treatment recommended will depend on the severity of the stricture and other factors.
Dilation is often the first treatment option attempted for urethral stricture. During this procedure, a dilator is inserted into the urethra to gradually widen it. Usually, dilation is successful in relieving symptoms and does not require further intervention. If dilation does not work or if the stricture is severe, surgery may be necessary to repair the urethra. The most common type of surgery for urethral stricture is urethroplasty. This procedure involves making an incision in the urethra and removing the narrowed section. The healthy ends of the urethra are then reconnected using sutures or an artificial graft material such as Dacron® cloth or Gore
What steps are involved? Why is this important? There are a number of reasons why this is an important topic. First, urethral narrowing is a common problem for men, affecting up to 10% of the population. Second, it can have a significant impact on quality of life, causing urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence. Third, the urethral narrowing can be a precursor to more serious problems such as bladder outlet obstruction and renal failure. Finally, there are a number of effective surgical treatments available that can provide significant symptom relief.
