Workup
To guide treatment decisions, a thorough diagnostic workup may include advanced imaging techniques and endoscopic evaluations to identify the precise location and severity of the stricture Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for urethral stricture disease [umassmemorialhealthcare.org]

Etiology
Etiology and Pathophysiology Scarring of the corpus spongiosum can be caused by trauma, inflammation, or previous surgery. [unboundmedicine.com]
Code First Code First Help Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10data.com]
The etiologies were trauma in 24, post catheterization in 16, and idiopathic in 25. The mean stricture length was 1.60 cm (range 0.8 to 1.9). Anastomotic urethroplasty was performed in 41 men (Group 1). [rdm.ox.ac.uk]
As a consequence, etiology and management in pediatric urethral stricture disease are not well defined. [frontiersin.org]
The most common etiologies are traumatic injury, iatrogenic injury, and inflammatory disease resulting in periurethral fibrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology

Results: There is level 3 evidence regarding the etiology and epidemiology of urethral strictures, stenoses, and pelvic fracture urethral injuries. [indianjurol.com]

Pathophysiology Urethritis is an inflammatory condition that can be infectious or posttraumatic in nature. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology Urethritis is documented based on any of the following signs or laboratory tests: Mucopurulent or purulent discharge. Gram stain of urethral secretions showing 5 WBC per oil immersion field. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Successful management of urethral strictures requires detailed knowledge of anatomy, pathophysiology, proper patient selection, and reconstructive techniques. [nature.com]
