About Urethral Stricture in Kolkata
A urethral stricture is an abnormal narrowing of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body, caused by scar tissue formation that restricts urine flow. It occurs almost exclusively in men due to the greater length of the male urethra and can develop gradually, leading to progressively worsening difficulty with urination. If left untreated, chronic strictures can lead to complications such as urinary retention, recurrent urinary tract infections, and, in severe cases, kidney damage from back-pressure on the urinary system.
