The initial investigation for the above symptoms is usually a telescopic inspection of the urethra and bladder, known as a cystoscopy. This can be done very quickly and easily under a local anesthetic, but may not be able to see beyond the narrowing.
The further investigation to delineate the problem is an X-ray called an urethrogram. This is done by instilling some x-ray contrast (dye) into the tip of the urethra, and this will provide more accurate information as to the length, location and caliber of the stricture. With this information, the best decision about treatment can be made.
