Urethral Injury

Urethral injury involves damage to the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. It can happen due to trauma, such as accidents or injuries during medical procedures like catheter insertion. Symptoms might include difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, pain, or swelling. The severity varies; minor tears may heal on their own, while more severe injuries may require medical intervention such as surgery. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications like infections or long-term urinary problems. If you experience symptoms, consulting a healthcare professional is essential for proper assessment and care.
