The urethra is a thin tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside the body. Common diseases include Urethritis, which causes burning and discharge due to infection. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) leads to frequent and painful urination. Urethral Stricture causes weak urine flow. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) can also affect it. Diagnosis may involve urine tests, imaging, and cystoscopy. Treatment varies by cause and may include medication or surgery.
Related procedures include urethral stones surgery, structure surgery and hypospadias surgery addressing structural or obstructive urinary issues to restore normal urinary function.
