Urethral stricture occurs when narrowing develops in the urethra, which can interfere with the normal flow of urine. Patients may experience a weak urinary stream, difficulty starting urination, prolonged urination or a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying.
Dr. Ankush Sharma provides evaluation and treatment guidance for patients experiencing symptoms related to urethral narrowing. The initial assessment may include understanding urinary symptoms, medical history and previous urinary procedures or conditions. Investigations may be recommended to assess the location and extent of the narrowing.
Treatment planning depends on several factors, including:
- Location of the stricture
- Length and severity of narrowing
- Effect on bladder emptying
- Previous treatment history
- Associated urinary problems
- Overall health of the patient
Depending on the individual case, suitable procedures may be discussed. Urethroplasty is among the surgical procedures listed for the management of urethral stricture.
When Should You Consult a Urologist?
Seek medical consultation if you experience:
- Difficulty starting urination
- Incomplete bladder emptying
- Recurrent urinary problems
- Changes in normal urinary flow
Early evaluation can help determine the severity of the narrowing and guide an appropriate treatment approach.
