About Urethral Caruncle Excision

Urethral caruncle excision is a minor surgical procedure performed by a urologist to remove a urethral caruncle, which is a small, benign, fleshy growth that develops at the urethral opening in women. This growth, often appearing as a red, sensitive lump, can cause symptoms like pain, bleeding, discomfort during urination, or a visible mass. The procedure is typically done under local or general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The urologist carefully excises the caruncle, often using electrocautery to minimize bleeding and promote healing. It is a definitive treatment that provides relief from symptoms, confirms the benign nature of the tissue through pathology, and prevents recurrence. Recovery is generally quick with minimal downtime.
