Urethral stricture
Urethral stricture: Introduction
An abnormal narrowing of the urethra which is the tube that allows urine to pass out of the body. In males the urethra also allows semen to pass out of the body during ejaculation. The narrowing may be due to inflammation, injury, disease or scar tissue from surgery. It can cause painful urination and ejaculation and spraying of urine as well as other symptoms. The condition is more common in men than women.

Misdiagnosis and Urethral stricture
Interstitial cystitis an under-diagnosed bladder condition: The medical
condition of interstitial cystitic is a bladder condition that can be
misdiagnosed as various conditions such as overactive bladder or other causes of pelvic pain.
This condition can cause chronic pelvic pain or symptoms of urinary incontinence,
similar to overactive bladder.
Millions of patients may be misdiagnosed - an estimated third of the 9 million women with
chronic pelvic pain (CPP) or 4.5 million of the 17 million women with overactive bladder syndrome
do not respond well to treatment, and may have interstitial cystitis rather than their given diagnosis.
In other words, about 6 million US women may have misdiagnosed interstitial cystitis.
