Questions patients ask
- What is a urethral stricture?
- A narrowing of the urine passage, usually from previous injury, instrumentation or infection. It typically causes a slow stream, straining and incomplete emptying.
- Why do strictures come back after dilatation?
- Because dilatation stretches scar tissue rather than removing it. Repeated dilatation often makes the segment worse; reconstruction is the durable option for suitable strictures.
