Urethral Disorders
Urethral disorders refer to conditions affecting the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Common issues include urethritis, which is inflammation often caused by infections, and urethral strictures, where the urethra narrows, leading to difficulty urinating.
Symptoms of urethral disorders may include pain during urination, frequent urination, or blood in the urine. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, urine tests, and imaging studies. Treatment options vary based on the specific disorder and may include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions.
