Struggling with a weak urine stream, burning sensation while urinating, or frequent urinary tract infections? You might be experiencing a condition called urethral stricture, a common urological issue that leads to the narrowing of the urethra due to scar tissue. At Curis Life Multi-Specialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert urologists specialize in diagnosing and treating urethral narrowing with advanced techniques, personalized care, and a commitment to your comfort.
What is Urethral Stricture?
Urethral stricture refers to the constriction or narrowing of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. This condition is typically caused by scar tissue buildup that blocks or restricts the normal flow of urine.
Strictures can be short or long, partial or complete, and can occur at any point along the urethra. In men, it’s more common and can significantly affect quality of life if left untreated.
Common Causes of Urethral Stricture
Several factors can lead to urethral blockage:
- Pelvic trauma or injury
- Urethral catheter injury during prior medical procedures
- Infection-induced urethral damage
- Surgical procedures like hypospadias repair
- Balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) – chronic skin condition
- History of STDs or chronic UTIs
- Post-radiation therapy for pelvic cancers
Symptoms of Urethral Stricture
If you’re experiencing any of the following, consult our urologist in Andheri West immediately:
- Difficulty in urination
- Straining to urinate
- Decreased urine flow
- Weak urine stream
- Burning sensation during urination
- Recurrent UTIs
- Urinary retention
- Post-void dribbling

- Presence of blood in urine
How is Urethral Stricture Diagnosed?
At Curis Life Clinic, we perform a detailed evaluation using advanced diagnostic tools such as:
- Urine flow assessment (Uroflowmetry)
- Retrograde urethrogram (RUG) – X-ray imaging of the urethra
- Urethroscopy – Direct visualization using a thin scope
- Ultrasound or MRI, if required
Treatment Options for Urethral Stricture
Our treatment is tailored based on the stricture’s location, length, cause, and recurrence risk. We offer:
1. Urethral Dilation
A minimally invasive procedure that gradually widens the urethra using dilators.
2. Internal Urethrotomy
An endoscopic method where scar tissue is incised to restore urine flow – ideal for short strictures.
3. Urethroplasty Surgery
Gold standard for long or recurrent strictures. This reconstructive urology procedure involves removing or repairing the narrowed urethra.
4. Endoscopic Treatment for Urethral Stricture
Painless, day-care procedure using advanced scopes to treat obstructions efficiently.
Precision Medicine
At Curis Life, we integrate precision medicine principles to deliver care that’s tailored to your unique anatomy, history, and stricture characteristics. Our urologists use real-time imaging and data-driven techniques to improve treatment success and reduce the risk of stricture recurrence.
