What is urethral meatulectomy?

Urethral caruncle is a benign lesion that often occurs in middle-aged and elderly female patients, after the onset of the disease in order to improve the symptoms caused by the choice of surgery to remove it. Urethral caruncle excision is mainly for patients with urethral caruncle, as the caruncle will prolapse outside the urethral opening for a long period of time, and when the caruncle is large, the patient will experience related symptoms, such as a feeling of dropping, painful urination, frequent urination, and urgency to urinate, etc., and in some cases, there will be bleeding, so the caruncle will be removed through surgery in order to improve the patient’s these symptoms. Urethral caruncle surgery is a minor surgery, the catheter needs to be kept for 3 to 5 days after the surgery, and it can be removed when there is no blood seepage, and it usually recovers in a week or so. Patients are advised to go to a regular hospital to undergo the surgery so as to minimize the risk of surgery.
