Home / Treatments / Urinary Duct Stenosis
Urinary canal stenosis is a narrowing or blockage of the urinary tract (urethra). This condition prevents the normal flow of urine and can make it difficult to empty urine.
Symptoms of Urinary Duct Stenosis:
1.Difficulty Urinating: Difficulty urinating or poor urine flow is a prominent symptom.
2.Frequent Urination: Frequent need to urinate may occur due to narrowing of the urinary canal.
3.Bleeding in Urine: Blood during urination or pinkish coloured urine may be a symptom of urinary canal stenosis.
4.Urinary Tract Infections: Recurrent urinary tract infections may occur as a result of urinary canal stenosis.
5.Urine Retention: It is a condition in which urine remains in the bladder and causes discomfort as a result of incomplete emptying of urine.
Treatment of Urinary Duct Stenosis:
1.Dilatation (Expansion): The narrow area of the urinary canal can be expanded to improve urine flow.
2.Endoscopic Surgery: It is possible to surgically open and expand the stenosis area by endoscopic methods.
3.Urethra Stents: Stents placed in the stenosis area can ensure that the urinary canal remains open.
4.Urethral Plastic (Reconstructive Surgery): In cases of persistent stenosis, surgical intervention may be required to reshape or repair the urinary canal.
5.Hormonal Treatment: Hormonal treatments may be considered in stenosis caused by hormonal causes.
Prevention:
– Compliance with sexual hygiene rules and prevention of infections.
– Avoiding excessive forceful urination.
– Being aware of urinary tract infections and treating them.
Urinary canal stenosis can lead to serious health problems and affect urine flow. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, urinary canal stenosis can be managed and symptoms can be controlled. When any signs of urinary tract problems are noticed, it is important to consult a health professional. Experts can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life by creating a treatment plan that is appropriate for the individual situation.
