A urethral diverticulum is a small pouch or sac that forms off the urethra, the tube carrying urine out of the body. This can cause symptoms like painful urination, frequent UTIs, or urine leakage after peeing. Often linked to blockages or infections, treatment, typically surgical removal, can relieve discomfort, and maintaining good hygiene is important.

I am a urologist specializing in the medical, procedural, and surgical management of urinary symptoms in men and women including urinary leakage and difficulty urinating, female urethral disorders, pelvic organ prolapse, and bladder dysfunction caused by a neurologic condition, injury, or cancer treatment.
The conditions I treat can have a profound impact on quality of life and may lead to physical and emotional discomfort and social isolation. I recognize my patients’ need for approachable, comforting, and compassionate care that will allow them to navigate their symptoms and treatment options. Together, we develop an individualized diagnostic and treatment plan that focuses on understanding why symptoms are present and how we can best manage them.
