Is urethral stricture disease a type of benign urethral lesion?

A urethral stricture is one of several benign urethral lesions that may lead to difficult urination. Urethral strictures are scar tissues that narrow or block off sections of the urethra. The narrowing within the urethra leads to soreness, ulcerations, and difficulty with urination. For uncircumcised men, it may be difficulty pulling back the foreskin at the tip of the penis. Urethral strictures are more common in men because they have longer urethras.
