Urethral Stricture Disease

Urethral stricture disease is a condition in which the urethra—the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body—becomes narrowed due to scarring or inflammation. This narrowing can block the normal flow of urine and lead to various urinary problems. 

Dr. Sunirmal Choudhury offers comprehensive evaluation and advanced treatment options for urethral stricture disease, helping patients regain normal urinary function and improve their quality of life. 

Diagnosis of Urethral Stricture 

Accurate diagnosis helps determine the location and severity of the narrowing. The following tests may be recommended: 

• Detailed medical history and symptom assessment 
• Urine tests to check for infection 
• Ultrasound of the urinary tract 
• Uroflowmetry to measure urine flow rate 
• Retrograde urethrogram (RUG) – an imaging test to visualize the urethra 
• Cystoscopy – a small camera used to examine the urethra and bladder 

These investigations help in planning the most appropriate treatment.
