How many times should urethral stricture be dilated

Urethral dilatation is usually performed several times.

The severity of urethral stricture varies. Less dilation may be required if the stricture is mild, but more dilation may be required if the stricture is severe and complex to gradually improve the urethral condition. Some patients may respond well to dilation and achieve the desired result after several dilations, while others may require more. In addition, follow-up observation and evaluation are important. Patency and complications should be closely observed after each dilation. If there are still signs of stricture or re-stricture on follow-up observation, re-dilation is required.
