Urethral Stricture HomeopathicThe urethra is the opening that allows the urine to leave the bladder. Urethra has a sphincter mechanism that holds urine inside the bladder. When urine fills in the bladder, there is both voluntary and involuntary control to open the urethra to allow the urine to come out. In men, it is a thin tube-like structure that starts from the lower opening of the bladder, traverses the entire length of the penis. In women, it is a short opening coming off lower opening of the bladder and between 2.5 to 4 cms length.
Urethral stricture refers to narrowing of the urethra for any other reason, whether or not it actually impacts the flow of urine out of the bladder. Urethral stricture caused by injury, instrumentation, infection and some non-inflammatory causes of urethritis or by the formation of scar tissue. Scar tissue can be the result of many factors.
Causes of urethral stricture: It can be caused by many factors. It is mostly affected by males than females. Young boys who have hypospadias surgery (procedure to correct the underdeveloped urethra). And men who have penile implants have the higher chance of getting urethral stricture.
A straddle injury is the common type of cause of urethral
stricture. Examples of straddle injury are getting hit by cycle bar, falling
and affecting the scrotum. Other specific causes including pelvic fracture,
catheter insertion, radiation and surgery performed on the prostate.
Urethral stricture after blunt trauma can be divided into,
  • Pelvic fracture associated urethral disruption
    occurs in the severe pelvic fracture.
  • Blunt trauma to perineum compresses the bulbar
    urethra against pubic symphysis, causing a crush injury.

Tumors located in close proximity of urethra, untreated

urinary tract infection, lichen sclerosis, and sexually transmitted diseases
like gonorrhea also causes the urethral stricture.

Sorry doctor what I have informed you earlier that was suspected to be Urethera stricture turned out to be a acute case of prostatitis diagnosed with cystoscopy, urethra is normal only slightly reddish as informed by my urologist. So he is suspecting immune mediated prostatitis. As I have other auto immune disorders
What about herpes and chlamidya infection shall I apply for a separate consultation ?

My son has had 3 recurrent UTI’s in the last 6 months. Now a test shows that he has urethral stricture (he had a hypospadia correction surgery at 1). Now, not every day but like one a week he has burning sensation when he finishes peeing and he feels like he has to pee, like he has more and sits on the bathroom like for an hour until he feels better. When he sits he feels he has to push and then little drops come out. The doctor wants to dilate him, but I want to try homeopathic remedies first.… Read more »

Hi , I would really appreciate some help regarding a homeopathic question. I have had a urethral stricture for about 8 years now. This began when I was masturbating, then I noticed some blood in my semen. At this point, I decided to let my urethra try to heal and I took a break from masturbating for one month. Afterwards, when I resumed masturbating, I noticed a decreased force of ejaculation. I went to see a Urologist, and he let me know I likely developed a urethral stricture in the prostatic portion of the urethra. My main symptoms now are:… Read more »

Strictures and associated problems
MESSAGE Hello and Good day Dr. Kumar,

My problem is slightly more complex. In addition to urine retention, passing urine normally emptying the bladder, tip of my penis remains numb. Each time I pass urine I have to ensure it is continuing through visual examination. Same is the case during ejaculation. I feel the ejaculation but it does not give pleasure as before. Moreover, my sexual drive has also been impacted and testesterone level dropped considerably. Could you please suggest medication that can cure the strictures and all associated issues.
Best regards
