Stricture
Clinic

A stricture is a narrowing or constriction of a tubular structure in the body, such as a blood vessel, urethra, or esophagus. This narrowing can restrict the flow of fluids or substances, leading to various health issues. Strictures can result from inflammation, injury, surgical procedures, or diseases. Symptoms of a stricture depend on its location but commonly include pain, difficulty in passing fluids or solids, and potential infections due to obstruction. Treatment options vary based on the severity and location of the stricture and may include medication, dilation procedures to widen the narrowed area, or surgical intervention to remove or bypass the constriction.

Uroflowmetry

Uroflowmetry is a diagnostic test commonly used in the evaluation of patients with urinary stricture. This non-invasive procedure measures the flow rate of urine during voiding, providing critical information about the speed and volume of urine passing through the urethra. By assessing these parameters, Uroflowmetry can help detect abnormalities in urinary flow that may indicate the presence of a stricture or other urinary tract obstruction. The test is essential in determining the severity of the condition and guiding appropriate treatment strategies for patients in a stricture clinic.
