Urethral diameter refers to the width of the urethra, which can affect urinary flow and is an important consideration in diagnosing and treating urological conditions. Variations in urethral diameter can be congenital or acquired, and can lead to symptoms such as urinary obstruction or incontinence.

Urinary obstruction is a condition where the flow of urine is blocked, leading to potential kidney damage if left untreated. It can be caused by various factors such as kidney stones, tumors, or an enlarged prostate, and requires prompt diagnosis and management to prevent complications.

Urinary Obstruction

Incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine or feces, which can significantly impact quality of life and may result from a variety of underlying medical conditions or lifestyle factors. Management strategies include behavioral therapies, medications, and sometimes surgical interventions, tailored to the type and severity of incontinence.
