Condyloma acuminatum relatively rarely involves the urethra, and when it does it is usually only in the most distal portion of the urethra. A number of treatments have been described for urethral condylomas. These treatments are extensive and variable, comprising laser treatment, electrosurgery, cryotherapy, and topical application of cytotoxic agents such as 80% trichloroacetic acid, 5-fluorouracil cream (5-FU), podophyllin, podophyllotoxin, and imiquimod. Laser is still considered to be therapy of choice for treatment of intrauretral condylomata. We present the case of a 25-year-old male patient with meatal intraurethral warts who was successfully treated with 5-FU, after many unsuccessful treatment attempts with laser treatment, electrosurgery, cryotherapy, imiquimod, and 80% trichloroacetic acid.

Background: Management of urethral stricture related to lichen sclerosus (LS) is now gradually changing from surgical to nonsurgical due to availability of anti-inflammatory agents such as corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors. We determined the clinical impact of these agents in such patients on outpatient department basis in terms of improvement in symptoms on International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), external skin appearance, and maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax).
Materials And Methods: Eighty patients of meatal stenosis and penile urethral stricture with histopathologically proven LS were divided into two groups, and clinical and predetermined parameters such as Qmax, IPSS, and changes in external appearance were compared between these groups after 3 months of topical and intraurethral application of clobetasol and tacrolimus with self-calibration.

Genital condylomatosis is a highly contagious disease caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). The aim of this prospective multicentre study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Holmium:YAG (yttrium-aluminium-garnet) laser in the treatment of genital and intra-urethral warts; the secondary aim was to assess the patients' postoperative satisfaction and cosmetic results. From December 2016 to March 2019, patients with genital warts were prospectively enrolled in three hospitals.

Purpose: We investigated outcomes of the contemporary practice of administering intraurethral steroids to treat stricture disease in patients with biopsy proven lichen sclerosus.
Materials And Methods: We performed an institutional review board approved review of the records of patients with biopsy proven lichen sclerosus stricture disease from October 2010 to September 2015. Study inclusion criteria were age 18 years or greater and male gender.
A 47-year-old man presented with meatal bleeding. Visual inspection revealed papillary meatal tumors at 5 and 7 o'clock without other genital warts. These lesions were completely resected, and the histological diagnosis was condyloma acuminata.
