About X-Ray RGU (Retrograde Urethrogram)

Retrograde urethrography is an X-ray procedure with a particular kind of dye that is administered into the urethra for the purpose of examining it. In retrograde urethrography, a radioactive dye is gradually injected into the meatus, or the opening at the tip of the penis, and the X-rays are taken to determine if there is an obstruction in any part of the penis. Advanced fluoroscopic imaging in Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy helps to give detailed visualisation of the urethra, which leads to proper diagnosis when dealing with a range of urology conditions.

What is an X-Ray RGU?

An X-ray RGU (Retrograde Urethrogram) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to look inside the tube (urethra) that carries urine away from the bladder out of the body. The test is used to help decide on:

• The shape and integrity of the urethra
• Presence of urethral narrowing (stricture)
• Urethral injury or rupture
• Leakage of urine outside the urethra
• Congenital or acquired urethral abnormalities

The procedure is commonly recommended by urologists for evaluating urinary difficulties and urethral disorders.

Common Reasons for an X-Ray RGU

• Suspected urethral stricture
• Difficulty passing urine
• Poor urinary stream
• Trauma to the pelvis or urethra
• Blood at the urethral opening
• Evaluation before urethral surgery
• Follow-up after urethral reconstruction
• Assessment of recurrent urinary obstruction

Conditions Evaluated

Urethral Stricture

Helps identify narrowing of the urethra that may obstruct the normal flow of urine.

Urethral Injury

Detects tears, rupture, or trauma to the urethra following accidents or pelvic injuries.

Urethral Leakage

Identifies leakage of contrast outside the urethra due to injury or abnormal communication.

Congenital Urethral Abnormalities

Assists in detecting structural abnormalities present since birth.

Post-Surgical Evaluation

Helps assess the urethra following reconstructive surgery or other urological procedures.

Recurrent Urinary Obstruction

Provides valuable information in patients with repeated urinary blockage or difficulty in urination.

Who Should Consider This Test?

Your urologist may recommend an X-Ray RGU if you:

• Have difficulty passing urine
• Experience a weak or interrupted urinary stream
• Have a suspected urethral stricture
• Have sustained pelvic or urethral trauma
• Notice blood from the urethra
• Require evaluation before or after urethral surgery
• Need investigation of recurrent urinary obstruction

Benefits of X-Ray RGU

• Provides detailed assessment of the urethra
• Detects urethral strictures and injuries
• Helps diagnose urinary obstruction
• Supports surgical planning
• Minimally invasive diagnostic procedure
• Provides accurate evaluation of urethral anatomy

Preparation for X-Ray RGU

• No special fasting is usually required unless advised by your doctor.
• Inform your doctor about any allergy to contrast dye or iodine.
• Inform your doctor about any recent urinary tract infection or fever.
• Carry previous ultrasound, CT, MRI, cystoscopy, or urology reports if available.
• Follow any instructions provided by your urologist before the examination.
