Injury to your scrotum or penis or a straddle injury to the perineum or scrotum.
Placement of instruments for catheters during surgery into the urethra.
Discard tissues can cause the urethra to become narrow and make the urine difficult to flow out.

Need for Test

If a unit cell structure is suspected then a test is to be done to determine the flow rate of urine which involves measuring and passing of urine and how much it passes per second.

An 8-inch telescope called Cytoscape is used to look into the urethra which will be needed to access the stricture.

A special x-ray should be taken where it can show the severity or site of the stricture.

Urethral Stricture Treatment in Jaipur – To prevent possible complications and to ease the symptoms and improve the flow rate of urine, the treatment is usually advised by a specialist surgeon called a urologist. A urologist is a person who treats the problems and issues related to the urinary tracts such as conditions affecting the bladder, prostate, penis, and kidney. The treatment that will be advised to you by the specialist depends upon the factors such as the length of the site or the structure of stricture along with the general well-being and age of the person.

1. Urethrotomy

A thin telescope is passed into the urethra to locate the exact size and structure of the ureteral stricture.
This is done during a general anaesthetic where to cut along the urethral stricture, a tiny knife is then passed down to a telescope.
This makes the narrow ureteral stricture widen and you will get relief of symptoms from this procedure.

Most of the men get cured by undergoing this process but like deletion, the procedure may have to be repeated as the structure may reform from time to time in some cases.

2. Surgery

If urethrotomy doesn’t work then a correct operation also called urethroplasty is carried out for relief from urethral stricture. Grafting is usually done from the inside of your cheek to form the new section of your stricture. As the technique continues to improve and your specialist will advise you with an operation that will likely be successful for the best length and site of your stricture. The surgery has the highest success rate including the symptoms where grafting is done similar to that of skin grafting inside the lining of the urethra.

3. Widening of the stricture

A thin plastic rod is passed into the urethra and the process is carried out under local or general anaesthetic.
To gradually dialect the narrow stricture, rods of increasing thickness urgently inserted.

A repeat dilation is needed so often when symptoms reappear as a stricture starts gradually to narrow again after each dilation. The greater is the chance of cure with the help of dilation if shorter is the stricture and it is relatively easy to process to do, so you may try this first.
