Adult Hypospadias

A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra caused by scar tissue. It restricts urine flow, causing weak stream, straining, spraying, dribbling, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

No. Scar tissue does not disappear without treatment. The condition usually worsens over time if untreated and may affect bladder and kidney health.

Urethroplasty is reconstructive surgery to remove or repair the scarred urethral segment. For longer strictures, buccal mucosa graft from the inner cheek is often used. It offers the most durable results for many patients.

Yes. Repeated or traumatic catheterisation can irritate the urethral lining and lead to scarring. Proper technique and avoiding unnecessary catheter use reduce this risk.

Diagnosis includes uroflowmetry, ultrasound, retrograde urethrogram (RUG), and sometimes cystoscopy. These tests locate the stricture, measure its length, and guide treatment planning.

Reconstructive urology treats urethral strictures, adult hypospadias, pelvic fracture urethral injuries, women's urethroplasty, complex genitourinary defects, penile reconstruction, and complications from prior urological surgery.
