Urethral interventions are medical procedures aimed at diagnosing or treating conditions affecting the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. These interventions can include urethral dilation, where a doctor gently widens the urethra to relieve blockages, and urethral catheterization, which involves inserting a thin tube to drain urine. Other common urethral interventions include urethroscopy, a procedure that uses a small camera to visualize the urethra, and urethral stenting, where a small device is placed to keep the urethra open. These procedures are typically performed by urologists to address issues like strictures or urinary retention.
