Urethral Stricture Treatment in Kopar Khairane
A urethral stricture is a scar-related narrowing of the passage that carries urine out of the body. It can make urination slow or difficult. Treatment depends on the length and position of the narrowing, previous procedures and how much it is affecting bladder emptying.
For an assessment in Kopar Khairane, contact Apex Multispeciality Hospital in Sector 19, near MSEB. The appointment team can confirm the relevant consultant’s availability and whether the required service is provided at the hospital. |
Symptoms that deserve attention
A weak or spraying stream, straining, prolonged urination, repeated infections or incomplete emptying can occur. These symptoms may resemble prostate problems, which is why a diagnosis matters before treatment.
How the problem is assessed
Urine testing, flow measurement and an ultrasound may be used. A contrast X-ray of the urethra or cystoscopy can help define the narrowing. Tell the doctor about pelvic injury, catheterisation, previous surgery or prior stricture treatment.
Treatment options to discuss
Options may include dilation, endoscopic incision called urethrotomy, or reconstructive surgery called urethroplasty. They are not interchangeable. A recurrent or longer stricture may need reconstructive expertise. If Apex does not provide the recommended procedure, discuss a suitable specialist referral.
Recovery and follow up
A catheter may be needed after treatment, and follow-up checks assess urine flow. Recurrence is possible, especially after some endoscopic treatments. Infection, bleeding and injury are possible risks; reconstructive surgery has additional procedure-specific considerations. Self-catheterisation should be performed only when prescribed and taught by the clinical team.
When to seek urgent help
Inability to pass urine, a painful swollen lower abdomen or fever with urinary symptoms needs urgent assessment.
Planning your visit
Bring your previous reports and a list of medicines, including non-prescription products. Ask the doctor what the proposed treatment is intended to achieve, what alternatives are available and what follow-up will involve. Tell the team about any allergies or earlier problems with anaesthesia.
For current consultation fees or a treatment estimate, contact Apex Hospital. The amount depends on the assessment, investigations and care required. Ask what is included and whether any follow-up, medicines or consumables are billed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Is a stricture the same as an enlarged prostate?
No. A stricture narrows the urethra because of scar tissue. Prostate enlargement is a different condition.
Can a stricture come back?
Yes. Recurrence risk depends on the stricture and treatment, so follow-up matters.
Is repeat dilation always the next step?
No. Repeated narrowing may need discussion of a different approach or a reconstructive referral.
