A tube draining urine from each kidney to the bladder. Urethra: A tube exiting the bladder to void urine, as in to pass urine. Urethral Dilation: Is an old urologic practice that has not been scientifically proven. The urologist inserts a ‘sound' (a thin, flexible instrument) into the urethra to stretch it. However, injury or chronic urethritis may result in scar tissue, which can narrow or, in extreme cases, obstruct the urethra, making urination increasingly difficult and painful. The area of stricture may also be sharply incised using a cystoscope in an attempt to reduce the blockage. This approach is less traumatic than dilation and may be more successful in preventing recurrence of the narrowing.
