Urethra
Urethra Health Matters: A Comprehensive Guide
At Universal Hospital, we prioritize your urological health, and understanding the function and care of the urethra is an essential part of maintaining overall well-being. Our team of experienced urologists is here to provide comprehensive care and information about the urethra and related conditions.
What is the Urethra?
The urethra is a vital part of the urinary system responsible for transporting urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. In males, it also serves as the passageway for semen during ejaculation.
Urethral Conditions We Treat
Urethral Stricture
- Urethrotomy: A surgical procedure to treat a narrowed or obstructed urethra by making incisions to widen the passage.
Urethritis
- Treatment and Management: We provide effective solutions for inflammation of the urethra, often caused by infection or irritation.
Urethral Diverticulum
- Surgical Correction: When necessary, we offer surgical interventions to address urethral diverticula, and abnormal pouches in the urethral wall.
Urethral Surgeries and Procedures
Urethroplasty
- Reconstructive Surgery: Urethroplasty is a surgical procedure to repair and reconstruct the urethra, often used for treating strictures.
Cystoscopy
- Diagnostic Tool: Cystoscopy allows our urologists to visualize the urethra and bladder using a thin, flexible tube with a camera.
Urodynamic Testing
- Functional Assessment: Urodynamic testing helps evaluate the function of the urethra and bladder, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Maintaining Urethral Health
Hygiene Practices
- Proper Cleaning: Maintain good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infections and irritation.
Safe Sex
- Protection: Practicing safe sex helps prevent sexually transmitted infections that can affect the urethra.
Regular Check-ups
- Preventive Care: Regular urological check-ups allow us to identify and address potential urethral issues early on.
