A urethral stricture is a scar of the subepithelial tissue of the corpus spongiosum that constricts the urethral lumen. As the constriction increases, obstruction occurs and leads to symptoms which may be related to the obstruction or secondary to it(1). (Figure 1). The term stricture usually us...

| description | A urethral stricture is a scar of the subepithelial tissue of the corpus spongiosum that
constricts the urethral lumen. As the constriction increases, obstruction occurs and
leads to symptoms which may be related to the obstruction or secondary to it(1).
(Figure 1).
The term stricture usually used for constrictions of the anterior urethra. Otherwise in
the posterior urethra the terms stenosis or contracture are applied(2).
The site and the age of the patient may give a hint about the cause of the stricture. For
example, Meatal strictures may be caused by lichen sclerosis (the most common
identifiable cause of anterior urethral stricture in young adults), and instrumentation or
poor hygiene at any age(2)
