Jet urinar slab, urinare dificilă? Ce soluții există pentru strictura uretrală și când poate ajuta Optilume.

Urinary difficulties such as prolonged urination and weak flow may indicate urethral stricture, which requires urological evaluation. Dr. Vlad Olaru discusses treatment options, including the Optilume procedure, which uses a balloon coated with paclitaxel to treat recurring strictures. This endoscopic method aims to improve urinary flow without external incisions. While results are promising, with 72% of patients avoiding further intervention after five years, not all strictures are suitable for this treatment. Patients should consult their urologist to determine the best approach based on their specific condition.
