Urethral Stricture

Treatment of Urethral Stricture at Mayo Clinic

A urethral (u-RE-thrul) stricture occurs when scarring narrows the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). A stricture restricts the flow of urine from the bladder and can cause a variety of medical problems in the urinary tract, including inflammation or infection.
