What is Urethral Stricture Disease? Here's What You Need to Know! | UroChannel

Dr. med. Dr. phil. Stefan Buntrock, discusses urethral stricture disease, which is a medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is therefore important to understand urethral stricture disease. It is a narrowing of the urethra that can occur anywhere in the tube, causing difficulty in urination. Men are more commonly affected than women, and older men are at higher risk. Symptoms include difficulty starting urination, weak urine stream, and increased urgency to urinate. Diagnosis can be done through an examination of urinary flow or x-ray imaging. Treatment is challenging, and there is a high risk of relapse. Plastic reconstruction with buccal mucosa and urethral stents are available, but there are side effects. The hope for the future lies in advances in tissue engineering.
