10 Symptoms of Hydronephrosis
Cause #3: Scarring
Scarring of the urinary tract can result in a stricture where there is narrowing of the urethra. This stricture restricts urine flow from the bladder and can lead to inflammation and infection. Scarring can occur due to the insertion of an instrument, catheterization, trauma in the pelvis, and more.
The signs and symptoms of a urethral stricture include incomplete emptying of the bladder, decreased urine stream, dysuria, straining when urinating, increased frequency of urination, frequent episodes of urinary tract infection, and more.
