Urethral strictures can be traumatic, inflammatory, or neoplastic in nature. Inflammatory strictures are usually located in the proximal bulbar urethra and are caused by infections like gonorrhea or chlamydia. Traumatic strictures occur after catheterization or surgery and are commonly found in the posterior urethra. Both inflammatory and traumatic strictures can be multiple, vary in length, and lead to complications such as fistulas or pseudodiverticula if left untreated.
