Stricture Urethra – Causes, Symptoms & Diagnosis

What is Stricture Urethra?

The urethra’s main job in males and females is to pass urine outside the body. This thin tube also has an important role in ejaculation for men. When a scar from swelling, injury, or infection blocks or slows the flow of urine in this tube, it is called a urethral stricture. Some people feel pain with a urethral stricture.

The usual symptoms faced by such a patient are:

  • decreased force of micturition
  • narrowed/ thin urinary stream
  • straining to pass urine
  • sense of incomplete emptying

Common causes for stricture formation:

  • a history of previous catheterization or urethral procedure
  • trauma
  • past sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea

This condition can easily be diagnosed by a few simple tests such as uroflowmetry and retrograde urethrogram

Symptoms of Stricture Urethra:

Urethral Stricture can cause numerous symptoms, and the most obvious sign is a weakened urinary system, which can vary from mild to severe. Some signs and symptoms of a urinary stricture include:

  • Weak urinary stream
  • Straining to pass urine
  • Frequent urine infections
  • Spraying of the urine system
  • Taking a long time to pass urine
  • Sense of incomplete bladder emptying
  • Frequent desire to pass urine owing to incomplete emptying

Some of the patients with severe urinary strictures are not able to urinate completely (acute urinary retention) and require immediate medical attention.
Urinary stricture can also cause prostatitis, a complicated urinary tract infection, in which the enlargement and inflammation of the prostate gland take place. Also, some patients develop secondary bladder stones because of incomplete emptying of the bladder.

Without treatment, urinary strictures can cause kidney infections and bladder stones, and it can also cause bladder enlargement, which may become dysfunctional with time. The selection of treatment for urinary strictures depends upon the severity and length of the stricture. Dr. Suraj Lunavat is one of the best urologists who provide Urethral Stricture Surgery in Pune.

The diagnosis involves:

  • Cystoscopy
  • Urine flow test or uroflowmetry
  • Retrograde urethrogram and micturating cystourethrogram

For a safe and effective urethral stricture surgery, consult the certified and experienced urologist in Pune Dr. Suraj Lunavat.

Causes of urethral stricture:

In males during the urination process, the urine is carried out by the urethra from the bladder via the penis and is excreted from the urethral meatus. In urethral strictures, the male urethra becomes narrower in shape. The urethral stricture occurs due to chronic inflammation or the formation of scar tissue.

Reasons for the formation of scar tissue are as follows:

  • An injury to the scrotum, the penis, or a straddle injury
  • An infection that occurs mainly due to sexually transmitted diseases such as Chlamydia.
  • Use of instruments and catheters during surgery or examination of the bladder or urethra

The scar tissue narrowing the urethra causes difficulty in urinating. A weakened urinary system is the most obvious symptom of urethral strictures.

In severe stricture cases, patients are not able to urinate completely. This is an emergency medical condition known as urinary retention. Renal failure and hydronephrosis may also occur in long-standing cases. A urethral stricture causes inflammation and enlargement of the prostate

Therefore, internal urethrotomy is a safe and reliable process for the management of urethral strictures.

Cancer Treatment : Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer

WHAT IS THE PROSTATE?

Just men have a prostate. It is a minute gland that sits below the bladder near the rectum. It environs the urethra, the way in the penis during which urine and semen pass. The prostate organ is an element of the male reproductive system. It produces most of the liquid that makes up semen that enriches sperm. The prostate is frequently described as being the size of a walnut and it is usual for it to grow as men age. The prostate needs the male hormone testosterone to grow and enlarge.  At times this can cause problems, such as difficulty urinating. These harms are common in older men and not always symptoms or signs of cancer.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

In the early stages, here may be no symptoms. Within the later stages, some symptoms of prostate cancer might include:

  • Feeling the common or sudden need to urinate
  • Finding it hard to urinate (for example, trouble starting or not being able to urinate when the feeling is there or poor urine flow)
  • Distress when urinating
  • Ruling blood in urine or semen
  • Pain in the lower back, higher thighs or hips.

The particular symptoms may not mean you have prostate cancer, but if you experience any of them, go and see your doctor.

WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS?

Factors that are most powerfully linked to an enlarged chance of developing prostate cancer:

Age: Prostate cancer is an age-dependent syndrome, which means the chance of growing it increases with age. The risk of receiving prostate cancer by the age of 75 is 1 in 7 men. In the age of 85, this increases to 1 in 5.

Family history: But you have a first-degree male relative with prostate cancer, you have a higher chance of raising it than men with no such history. The risk increases over if more than one male relative has prostate cancer. Risks are too higher for men whose male relatives were diagnosed when young.

THE STAGING SYSTEM FOR PROSTATE CANCER IS:

STAGE I: cancer involves only one lobe of the prostate.

STAGE II: The cancer is recovered or involves both lobes of the prostate. But, it has not spread outside the prostate.

STAGE III: cancer has spread outside the prostate connecting adjacent organs such as the seminal vesicles.

STAGE IV: cancer has extended to the bones and other parts of the body.

Another system for risk assessment of prostate cancer is the D’Amico System, which combines the PSA level, the Gleason score on the basis of biopsy and clinical stage based on radiological examination.

HOW IS PROSTATE CANCER DETECTED AND DIAGNOSED?

A doctor will frequently do a blood test and/or physical examination to test the health of the prostate.

Blood check (Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test): The result shows whether there is an increase in this specific protein. Depending on the product, you might need further investigation with a specialist. A high PSA test outcome does not necessarily mean cancer. Prostate diseases other than cancer can as well cause a higher than normal PSA level.

Digital Rectal Examination (DRE): Since of where the prostate is located, the doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to check the mass of the prostate and assess if there are any abnormalities. A normal DRE effect does not rule out prostate cancer.

DIAGNOSIS

But your tests prove you may be at risk of prostate cancer, the next step is a biopsy. A biopsy is the only method a firm diagnosis of prostate cancer can be made. A urologist removes small samples of tissue from your prostate, using very thin, hollow needles guided by an ultrasound. The prostate is also accessed through the rectum (transrectal) or the perineum (transperineal), which is the area between the anus and the scrotum. A biopsy is typically done as an out-patient system and the doctor will likely advise a course of antibiotics afterward to reduce the chance of infection. The tissue is sent to a pathologist to recognize whether the cells are malignant (cancerous) or benign (not cancerous).
