Abstract
A urethral diverticulum should be excluded as a diagnosis in anyone troubled by symptoms of a swelling of the urethra often associated with discomfort, pain on intercourse, urinary dribbling after passing urine, and/or recurrent urinary infections. In these circumstances patients should seek advice from their doctors and consider referral for a specialist assessment. If the diagnosis is made and the problem is symptomatic, surgery is likely to resolve the problem but should be carried out in a specialist centre with expertise in the management of this condition.
