Urethral Stricture

Urethral stricture is a medical condition that mainly affects men. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), very few women get urethral strictures. In addition, very few individuals are born with this condition (NIH)

Urethral stricture occurs specifically in the urethra. The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder so it can be expelled from the body.

In healthy males, the urethra is wide enough for urine to flow freely through it. When the urethra narrows, it is known as a urethral stricture. Urinary flow can be slightly or severely restricted.
