There is no single "best" medicine for urethral stricture. Treatment depends on the severity and cause of the stricture. Doctors often use a combination of approaches, including:
- Urethral dilation: This involves inserting a series of progressively larger instruments into the urethra to widen the narrowed area.
- Urethrotomy: This involves making a small incision in the stricture to widen the urethra.
- Urethral stent: This involves inserting a small tube (stent) into the urethra to keep it open.
- Urethral reconstruction: This involves using grafts or flaps of tissue to repair the damaged urethra.
Medications are not typically used as the primary treatment for urethral stricture. However, they may be prescribed to manage symptoms like:
- Urinary tract infections: Antibiotics can be used to treat infections.
- Pain: Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription pain medications can be used to manage pain.
- Inflammation: Anti-inflammatory medications can be used to reduce inflammation.
It is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition.
