Urethral Caruncle Removal in Windhoek

About this service

Urethral caruncle removal in Windhoek is a minor day-surgery procedure that removes a small, often tender growth found at the opening of the female urethra. A urethral caruncle is usually a benign growth, but it can cause discomfort, bleeding or pain, particularly with urination or sitting, and removal is generally recommended when it is bothersome or bleeding. The procedure is quick and aims to relieve these symptoms while confirming the tissue is benign.
