Summary

This study is testing a new, non-invasive urine flow test called the Urethral Resistive Index (URI) to diagnose urethral stricture in men. Currently, diagnosis often requires invasive procedures like surgery. The study will involve 60 men (30 with suspected stricture and 30 healthy volunteers) who will provide two urine samples. The goal is to see if this simple test can accurately identify blockages, potentially sparing patients from more invasive tests.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a simple, non-invasive screening tool for urethral stricture, reducing the need for surgery or other invasive tests.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. The new test may not be accurate enough to replace current diagnostic methods.
