Urethral Stricture

A urethral stricture happens when the urethra becomes narrowed due to scar tissue. This can make it difficult to urinate and may cause a weak stream, straining, or incomplete emptying of the bladder. Strictures can develop after injury, infection, or previous procedures.

Treatment depends on the location and severity of the stricture. One option is Optilume, a minimally invasive approach that combines dilation and localized drug delivery to help keep the urethra open longer.
