Doctors are warning that injuries and trauma have overtaken infections as the major cause of trouble in the male reproductive system.
Specifically, they are worried about urethral strictures or scarring of the urinary canal which can lead to a narrowing of the tube with devastating results. If left untreated, this can cause serious problems, including bladder and kidney damage, infections caused by the obstruction of urine flow, and poor ejaculation and infertility in men.
