Urethral Stricture is defined as any narrowing of the urethra for any cause, regardless of whether or not it affects the flow of urine out of the bladder. Any urethral inflammation can cause scarring, which can lead to a stricture or narrowing of the urethra. Urethral narrowing or stricture may be caused by trauma, infection, cancers, operations, or some other source of scarring.

Urethral stricture may also be caused by mechanical narrowing of the urethra without scar-forming (due to developmental factors or prostate enlargement). Urethral stricture is much more common in men and boys than in women and children. In females, this syndrome is considered uncommon.

According to the Best Urologist In Noida, Urethral Stricture Causes are:

• Trauma caused by an injury or an event that causes urethral or bladder damage (for example, falling on a frame of a bicycle between the legs, or a car accident)
• Pelvic trauma or accident
• Procedures concerning the urethra in the past (urinary catheters, surgeries, cystoscopy)
• Previous prostatectomy (TURP or transurethral resection of the prostate)
• Enlargement of the prostate
