Urethral diverticula, common in women, cause chronic genitourinary symptoms like recurrent UTIs. Surgical intervention offers high cure rates, yet diagnosis is often delayed due to low clinical awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Urethral diverticula are a frequent cause of chronic genitourinary symptoms in women.
  • Affecting 3% of women, with higher prevalence in symptomatic groups, they peak between ages 25-45 but occur across all age ranges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and treatment outcomes for female urethral diverticula.

Main Methods:

  • This abstract summarizes clinical presentations, diagnostic considerations, and surgical outcomes for urethral diverticula in women.

Main Results:

  • Classical symptoms include recurrent urinary tract infections and post-micturition dribbling, though other urinary symptoms can manifest.
  • Surgical cure rates are approximately 70% for recurrent UTIs and nearly 100% for local symptoms like dyspareunia.

Conclusions:

  • Despite effective diagnostic tools and successful surgical treatments, delayed diagnosis of urethral diverticula is common.
  • Lack of clinician awareness and the condition's overlap between gynecology and urology contribute to diagnostic delays.
