Does urethra stricture and urethrocystopy cause infertility?

Yes: My husband had a stricture after having a catheter in for about 2 weeks after heart surgery. We were able to conceive once, but it took us a year (this ended in MC at 15 weeks). The stricture seemed to get worse and we have been unable to conceive. He also had increasingly worse problems with urination. His urologist concluded that the stricture was causing too low of volume leading to infertility. While his sperm numbers were great for the amount of volume, the lack of semen just wasn't enough to get to where it needs to go. He will have his stricture removed next week and we are hoping for success with this.

Dilation is usually included as a possible part of the procedure in case there is a possible stricture, which can then be treated then and there rather than coming back to treat it at a different time.This means they will not perform dilation unless they have to do it, and the reason they will do it is if there is a stricture, but in your case they won't likely do this, but it is best to have consent before the procedure just in case they find a stricture
