Male Urethral Diverticulam

Congenital urethral diverticula are rare in males. Urethral diverticulam generally located in the ventral aspect of the anterior urethra, though it can be found anywhere from the bulbous to the mid pendulous portion of the urethra.

Causes

The leading theory is repeated infections of the periurethral glands with subsequent infection evolving into urethral diverticulam. 

Treatment

The best option for treatment is to excise the diverticulum (urethral diverticulum). A urethral diverticulectomy is a surgical procedure in which, via an incision in your vagina, we remove the urethral diverticulum.  The goals of the surgery are to remove as much of the diverticulum as possible in order to improve your symptoms.
