Cost of Urethral Stricture Surgery in India

Urethral stricture surgery is conducted to treat narrowing of the urethra, the tube-like structure that carries urine from the bladder to other outer parts for urination. The stricture blocks flow of urine, which can lead to a number of urinary tract problems.

• Pain during urination
• Burning sensation during urination
• Decreased or complete blockage of urine flow
• Urinary tract infection
• Blood in urine
• Darkening of urine

• Blood tests
• Imaging tests
• Urine flow-related tests

Treatment options:

Urethroplasty: The surgeon makes an incision on the scrotum, penis or on the surrounding area with an aim to make the size of the urine channel bigger. A catheter is then placed inside for around four weeks.

Diversion of urine flow: In cases where urine flow is completely blocked, the surgeon makes a separate channel for the flow, usually cutting a small part of the intestines and joining it from the ureters to an opening for urination.
