Understanding Urethral Stricture: Dr. Brian Langford on Symptoms and Advanced Treatments

As men age, urinary symptoms such as frequent trips to the restroom, weak stream, or nighttime urination are common. While these issues are often linked to an enlarged prostate, they can also be caused by a lesser-known condition called a urethral stricture—scar tissue that blocks or narrows the urinary tract. In this video, Dr. Brian Langford, reconstructive urologist at UAMS Health, explains how urethral strictures are diagnosed and treated. From in-office cystoscopy and imaging to advanced treatment options such as drug-coated balloons and urethroplasty, Dr. Langford provides patients with the full spectrum of care. As the only fellowship-trained urologist in Arkansas specializing in urethral stricture disease, Dr. Langford brings advanced expertise to help patients restore urinary function and quality of life.
