About this condition
Urethral stricture is narrowing of the urethra, often related to scarring from injury, infection, inflammation or prior instrumentation.
Narrowing can cause weak stream, straining, incomplete emptying, retention or recurrent urinary infections. Untreated strictures may stress the bladder and, in some cases, affect the kidneys.
Mapping stricture length and location is essential — a short soft narrowing and a long dense scar are managed differently.
Recognise early
These signs do not confirm a diagnosis on their own — they help decide when specialist review is useful.
Understanding risk
Evaluation
Tests are selected based on symptoms and clinical need — not every patient needs every investigation.
Symptom assessment and uroflow where appropriate
Imaging or endoscopic evaluation of the urethra
Assessment of bladder and kidney status when obstruction is suspected
Review of prior treatments and recurrence pattern
Care options
Treatment is individualised after evaluation. Suitability depends on findings, overall health and your goals.
Short strictures and complex or recurrent strictures may need different approaches. Plans are made after mapping the stricture.
Visual Internal Urethrotomy may be considered for suitable short strictures with counselling about recurrence risk.
Reconstruction may be recommended for longer, denser or recurrent strictures when a more definitive repair is appropriate.
Procedures
These procedures may be discussed when clinically indicated. Not every option applies to every patient.
An endoscopic procedure that opens a short narrowed segment from within the urethra. Recovery is often shorter, though recurrence can occur in some patients.
Surgical reconstruction that removes or repairs the narrowed segment to restore a more durable urinary channel in suitable cases.
Your path
A typical pathway from first consult to follow-up — adapted to your clinical needs.
Flow pattern, infections, catheter history and prior stricture treatments are reviewed.
Uroflow, imaging or endoscopy helps define length, location and severity.
VIU or urethroplasty is matched to anatomy and durability goals.
Catheter care, flow review and early review if symptoms return.
Before you visit
Aftercare
A catheter is often needed for a period after stricture procedures — duration depends on the repair.
Avoid straining and follow wound or catheter instructions carefully.
Report fever, heavy bleeding or sudden inability to void.
