OIU (Optical Internal Urethrotomy) Treatment in Patna
Restore Normal Urination with Advanced Endoscopic Urethral Stricture Treatment.
Minimally Invasive Treatment for Urethral Stricture in Patna, Bihar
Difficulty passing urine, a weak urine stream, straining during urination, or recurrent urinary tract infections may indicate a urethral stricture. A urethral stricture occurs when scar tissue narrows the urethra, restricting the normal flow of urine and affecting quality of life.
At NIRAMAYAH HOSPITAL, we offer Optical Internal Urethrotomy (OIU), a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure designed to treat urethral strictures and restore normal urinary flow. Our experienced urologists use advanced endoscopic technology to provide effective treatment with minimal discomfort and faster recovery.
What is Optical Internal Urethrotomy ?
Optical Internal Urethrotomy (OIU) is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure used to treat urethral strictures. During the procedure, a special endoscopic instrument is passed through the urethra, and the scar tissue causing the narrowing is carefully incised to widen the urethral passage.
The procedure is performed without any external cuts or incisions and is often recommended for short-segment urethral strictures.
OIU can significantly improve urinary flow and relieve symptoms associated with urethral narrowing.
What is a Urethral Stricture?
The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. A urethral stricture occurs when scar tissue develops inside the urethra, causing narrowing and restricting urine flow. If left untreated, a stricture can lead to recurrent infections, bladder problems, kidney damage, and urinary retention.
Early diagnosis and treatment are important for preventing complications.
Causes of Urethral Stricture
Several factors can contribute to the development of a urethral stricture, including:
- Previous urinary catheterization
- Urinary tract infections
- Sexually transmitted infections
