Urethral strictures are an uncommon pathology in women that present novel challenges in diagnosis and treatment. We present a case of a 35 year-old female who presented with a 9 year history of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) who was found to have a distal urethral stricture. Though rare, urethral strictures should be considered on the differential for women suffering from chronic LUTS. There are many potential treatment options, and stricturotomy may be considered as a definitive management option without need for flaps or grafts with urethroplasty.
尿道狭窄在女性中是一种罕见的病理情况,在诊断和治疗方面带来了新的挑战。我们报告一例35岁女性病例,该患者有9年的下尿路症状(LUTS)病史,被发现患有远端尿道狭窄。尽管罕见,但对于患有慢性LUTS的女性,在鉴别诊断时应考虑尿道狭窄。有许多潜在的治疗选择,并且可以考虑将尿道狭窄切开术作为一种无需皮瓣或移植物进行尿道成形术的确定性治疗选择。
