Urethral stricture is a polyethological disease characterized by symptoms of the lower urinary tract, in which the diameter of the urethral lumen narrows down to its complete obliteration due to scar degeneration of the tissues of the urethra wall. The prevalence of narrowing of the urethra in men varies from 0.6% to 0.9% in the population and increases with the age of patients, while extensive and subtotal lesions of the urethra are diagnosed in 15-18% of cases. Urethral strictures are scarring of the urethra that can lead to obstructive and/or irritating symptoms when urinating, regardless of anatomical localization.
