Urethral Stricture causes :
1. Hypospadiasis:
is the most common congenital malformation of the penis, and about 1 infant is affected by 300 births and has 3 types.

It can be accompanied by Urethral stricture.
2. Epispadosis:
in which the bladder or urethra is uncovered at birth, can change from the bladder to the end of the penis at dorsal surface of penis.
- In the hypospadias, the hole in the front of the penis and in the epispadiosis is a hole in the back of the penis.

- Infection that can be the most common cause.
- However, sclerosis (BXO) is characterized by whiteness and tingling of the tip of the penis.
- Surgery for the repair of hypospadias.
- The manipulation of the urethra(for example, surgical procedures from the urethra, or endoscopy of the urethra and catheter in the urethra, which is especially seen in patients undergoing heart surgery, is sometimes seen.)
- Urethral cancer
