Urethral Caruncle

June 15, 2017 by Bert Vorstman MD

This is a raspberry-like benign lesion involving the posterior lip of the urethral opening and usually presents after menopause.

Symptoms

Symptoms include pain on urination, urethral bleeding or spotting and possible discomfort during intercourse.

Treatment

Local excision is indicated if these symptoms are bothersome. Excision is especially important if there is possible concern for the lesion being carcinomatous.
