Urethral diverticulum – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1172466404
A disease of the urethra, caused by an obstruction to the periurethral glands due to subsequent to frequent infection, or congenitally. This disease is characterised by a localised protrusion of the urethra into the anterior vaginal wall, consisting mostly of fibrous tissue. This disease may also present with urinary frequency, urgency, and dysuria. Confirmation is by imaging to determine the extent and location of the diverticulum.
