Urology surgical procedure: Urethral Calibration (Urethral Stricture Diagnosis and Treatment)

Urethral calibration is a short, outpatient procedure that is designed to diagnose and treat urethral strictures. The procedure is usually painless and takes 10-15 minutes.

A narrowed urethra can cause various problems such as:

Difficulty urinating
Causing recurrent inflammation of the lower urinary tract
Weak urine stream
Frequent urination
Urinary incontinence
Pain when urinating

How does the procedure work?
It is performed in the supine position, after disinfection of the urethra and application of numbing gel. A thin calibration probe is inserted into the urethra and gradually dilated to widen the narrowed portion.

After the procedure, it is common to experience mild burning and irritation of the urethra, which subsides within a few days.

What our patients appreciate the most

Sabina Günther

I go to Dr. Podstolska with my one-year-old daughter. I am very satisfied with her individual approach, willingness to solve even seemingly small things. Of course, she is professional and friendly at the same time. I'm also glad for the pleasant office with a play rug, heating over the changing table, the possibility to drive a stroller up to the office. The care of the nurses and their assistance during appointments is absolutely above and beyond. I also appreciate the texting system that reminds me of my check-up/exam appointment in a timely manner.
