Can Retrograde Urethrogram Damage My Urethra?
I recently did a retrograde urethrogram, and the results showed that everything was normal. But following the procedure I began to notice and feel like my urethra was some of closing up, and my urine stream became weak. As it stands right now I can barely pass any urine at all, my question is could the retrograde urethrogram have some how damage my urethra?

Welcome to Health care magic.
Retrograde urethrogram is procedure of choice in suspected bladder / urethral pathology. If it was normal and the symptoms commence after the procedure - then we can think in terms post procedural infection / inflammation.
Other possible cause could be trauma during the procedure - But symptoms will be seen immediately after the procedure.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
