    The narrowest part of the male urethra is the external urethra orifice. The male urethra is longer than the female urethra. There are three strictures in the entire urethra. Because there are many strictures, it is particularly easy to cause urethral stones.

    The stricture parts of the male urethra are the internal urethral orifice, membranous urethra, and external urethral orifice. Comparatively speaking, the external urethral orifice is the narrowest among these three locations. If lifestyle and diet adjustments are not made well, when urethral stones occur, clinical pain and difficulty in urination will occur. Especially when stones block the urethra, there will also be acute urinary retention in the urethra. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can use forceps to remove the stones, or you can perform urethrotomy to remove the stones.

    Drinking more water will increase the circulation of body fluids and increase the frequency of urination, which is beneficial to the elimination of inflammation and toxins in the body and can also avoid the occurrence of stones.
