Urethral stricture disease is a condition in which the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body, becomes narrowed or blocked. This can cause problems with urination, including difficulty starting or stopping the flow of urine, pain during urination, and frequent urination.
Surgical treatment for urethral stricture disease may be necessary in cases where the stricture is severe or causing significant symptoms. There are several surgical options available, including:
- Urethral dilation: This involves using a series of progressively larger tubes to stretch and widen the urethra.
- Urethrotomy: This involves using a small instrument to make a cut in the narrowed area of the urethra to widen the passage.
- Urethroplasty: This is a more extensive surgery that involves removing the narrowed area of the urethra and reconstructing it using tissue from elsewhere in the body.

However, if you are experiencing symptoms of urethral stricture disease, it’s important to seek the expertise of a urologist.
