Urethral stricture

Urethral stricture

Are you experiencing difficulty urinating, a weak urine stream, or recurring urinary tract infections? These could be signs of urethral stricture, a condition that affects the normal flow of urine and can significantly impact your quality of life if left untreated.

At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care, we offer expert-led and compassionate urethral stricture treatment in Bangalore using the latest medical technologies and minimally invasive techniques. With a strong commitment to quality care and affordability, our multispecialty hospital is equipped to handle all urological concerns with precision and empathy.

What Is Urethral Stricture?

Urethral stricture refers to the narrowing or blockage of the urethra—the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. This narrowing is usually caused by inflammation, injury, infection, or the formation of scar tissue. If untreated, it can lead to painful urination, repeated infections, and even kidney damage.

We at Shree Srinivasa Uro Care specialize in accurately diagnosing the severity and location of the stricture to develop the most effective treatment plan for each patient.

Types of Urethral Stricture

Urethral strictures are typically classified by their location and length:

• Anterior Urethral Stricture: Occurs in the front part of the urethra and is the most commonly seen type.
• Posterior Urethral Stricture: A rarer form found in the back part of the urethra, often resulting from pelvic trauma or surgery.
• Short vs. Long Strictures: Strictures are also defined by length: short (less than 1 cm) or long (more than 1 cm).

Understanding the type and extent of the stricture is essential to choosing the right treatment path.

Common Symptoms of Urethral Stricture

Symptoms may vary depending on the severity and site of the blockage. You should seek medical attention if you notice any of the following:

• Trouble starting urination
• Weak or interrupted urine stream
• Painful urination or pelvic discomfort
• Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Blood in urine (hematuria)
• Incontinence or urine leakage
• Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying

The earlier you consult a urologist, the better the outcome with timely intervention.

Treatment Options for Urethral Stricture

At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care, we provide a wide range of advanced treatment options customized to each patient’s needs. Depending on the complexity and location of the stricture, treatment may include:

Urethral Dilation

• A non-surgical method where a tube is inserted and gradually widened to restore urine flow.

Urethrotomy

• A minimally invasive endoscopic procedure where a small incision is made to cut through the stricture and open the passage.

Urethroplasty

• A more definitive surgical approach that involves removing the scarred portion of the urethra and reconstructing it using healthy tissue. Ideal for long or recurrent strictures.

Endoscopic Management

• Advanced endoscopic techniques are used to visually guide the procedure and ensure precision while minimizing tissue damage.

Our goal is to offer minimally invasive treatments wherever possible, ensuring quicker recovery and minimal discomfort.

Preventive Measures You Can Take

While not all cases can be prevented, certain habits and precautions can reduce your risk of developing urethral stricture:

• Practice good hygiene to avoid infections.
• Avoid unnecessary catheterization, especially without medical supervision.
• Be cautious with sexual health to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
• Seek early medical help if you notice any urinary changes or symptoms.
