An untreated urethral narrowing over time leads to an increased residual urine, which favors the occurrence of urinary tract infections. As a result of increased bladder pressure may arise protuberances of the bladder wall (diverticula) and possibly a kidney accumulation, which leads to damage to the kidneys.
