Urethral conditions refer to various medical issues affecting the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Common conditions include urethritis, which is inflammation often caused by infections, and urethral strictures, which are narrowings that can obstruct urine flow. Symptoms may include pain during urination, frequent urination, or difficulty starting the urine stream. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, urine tests, and imaging studies. Treatment options vary depending on the condition and may include antibiotics for infections, dilation procedures for strictures, or surgery in more severe cases. Early diagnosis and management are essential for preventing complications.
