Urethral caruncle - what does this mean
Urethral caruncle is a benign growth that occurs near the urethral opening. it is caused by irritation and inflammation of the urethral mucosa, which is the lining of the urethra. it is often caused by a bacterial infection, such as escherichia coli, or by irritation from clothing or hygiene products. symptoms include pain and discomfort, as well as bleeding and discharge. treatment typically involves antibiotics and topical medications, and in some cases, surgery may be necessary.
What happens during the disease - urethral caruncle
Urethral caruncle is a benign, non-cancerous growth that develops in the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. it is thought to be caused by a combination of hormonal, inflammatory, and infectious factors. hormonal changes, such as those that occur during menopause, can lead to the overgrowth of cells in the urethral wall. this can lead to inflammation, which can cause the cells to multiply and form a caruncle. infectious agents, such as bacteria, can also contribute to the development of a caruncle.
