Urethral Obstruction
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The urologist is the specialist who studies urethral obstruction, a narrowing or blockage of the urethra, the duct through which urine leaves the body. When the passage of urine is hindered, normal emptying of the bladder is altered.
Frequent symptoms:
- A weak or intermittent urinary stream
- Difficulty starting urination
- A sensation of not completely emptying the bladder
- Needing to urinate more frequently
Possible causes: Scars, inflammation, growth of nearby tissues, or other disorders of the urinary tract can narrow the duct.
When to seek care?: If you notice increasing difficulty urinating or changes in the urinary stream, it is advisable to have it checked. The urologist and, when kidney function is affected, the nephrologist, can evaluate the case and determine the appropriate tests.
