    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Female Pelvic Medicine

    Background:

    • The paraurethral glands in females are homologous to the male prostate.
    • Inflammation of these glands is a common cause of recurrent cystitis in women.
    • Bladder neck obstruction can also occur in women, though less frequently than in men.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the age incidence, clinical presentation, investigations, differential diagnosis, and treatment of paraurethral gland inflammation.
    • To present findings from a personal series of 88 cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 88 cases of paraurethral gland inflammation and/or bladder neck obstruction.
    • Conservative management (catheter drainage, urethral dilatation) for 7 cases.
    • Surgical management (perurethral resection using a Thompson cold punch) for 77 cases.

    Main Results:

    • Conservative treatment was employed in 7 cases.
    • Perurethral resection was performed in 77 cases.
    • Very satisfactory results were reported following perurethral resection.

    Conclusions:

    • Paraurethral gland inflammation is a significant cause of recurrent cystitis in women.
    • Perurethral resection is an effective treatment for this condition, offering satisfactory outcomes.
    • Further analysis of age incidence and clinical presentation aids in diagnosis and management.
