Urine can exit the bladder through a hole called the urethra. The urethra in men is a tiny, tube-like organ that extends from the bladder’s lower opening all the way down to the penis. A sphincter in the urethra closes normally to retain pee in the bladder.

2. URINE CAN EXIT THE BLADDER THROUGH A HOLE CALLED THE URETHRA. THE URETHRA IN MEN IS A TINY, TUBE-LIKE
ORGAN THAT EXTENDS FROM THE BLADDER’S LOWER OPENING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE PENIS. A SPHINCTER IN
THE URETHRA CLOSES NORMALLY TO RETAIN PEE IN THE BLADDER. THERE ARE BOTH VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY
CONTROLS TO OPEN THE URETHRAL SPHINCTER TO ALLOW URINE TO EXIT THE BLADDER WHEN IT BECOMES FULL.
What does urethra mean?

3. The 3 important questions:
A urethral stricture is what?
Any constriction of the urethra, regardless of whether it really affects the passage of
urine from the bladder, is referred to as a urethral stricture.
Any urethral irritation can cause scarring, which can cause the urethra to narrow or
form a stricture. Urinary narrowing or stricture may be brought on by trauma, infection,
tumours, operations, or any other cause of scarring. There are 2 types; namely anterior
strictures and posterior urethral stricture.

4. Causes
1) Damage to the urethra because of trauma
2) Pelvic trauma or damage
3) Previous urethra-related treatments
4) Prostatic hyperplasia
5) Urethral infections
6) Inflammation of the prostate

5. Urethral stricture symptoms
1) Trouble initiating the urine flow
2) Unpleasant urination (dysuria)
3) Infection of the urinary tract (UTI)
4) Urinary incontinence
5) Pelvic pain

6. Which kind of physician manages urethral obstruction?
Urologists, medical professionals with training and expertise in the urinary system, are most
frequently responsible for urethral stricture treatment.
Diagnosis
1) Urinalysis
2) Urine culture
3) Urethral culture for sexually transmitted illnesses
To confirm the diagnosis and determine the source, imaging and endoscopic tests are frequently
required.

7. Are there any specific diagnostics for urethral stricture diagnosis?
1) Urethral ultrasound
2) An inverted urethrogram
3) Analogous cystourethrogram in reverse
4) Cystourethroscopy

8. Urethra stricture Treatment
1) Surgery is still the sole option for people with uncontrolled urethral narrowing symptoms
including open urethral reconstruction, urethrostomy, urethral stent insertion, and urethral
dilatation
2) Our medical professionals are constantly researching the best strategies to properly manage
this disease. The use Epithelial cell therapy, in the treatment of urethral stricture is one such new
development. It is a technique that uses healthy cells to repair an afflicted organ or tissue
