Urethral stricture in men is a narrowing of the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. This can cause symptoms such as a weak or sprayed urine stream, difficulty urinating, or incomplete bladder emptying. It often results from injury, infection, or previous medical procedures. Treatments aim to widen the urethra, through methods like stretching or surgery, to improve urine flow and alleviate discomfort.

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.
