Causes of feline urethral hyperplasia:

1. Long-term urethral infection in cats does not receive timely targeted treatment, and severe inflammatory reaction stimulates urethral hyperplasia in cats.

2. Because urethral stones are not surgically removed in time, the urethral mucosa at the stone site is stimulated for a long time, leading to urethral hyperplasia in cats.

3. Long-term urethritis and urethral emboli stimulate the urethra and can also lead to urethral hyperplasia.

4. It may also be due to abnormal glomerular filtration, allowing macromolecular substances to enter the ureter and reach the urethra, resulting in urethral hyperplasia.

Solutions to cat urethral hyperplasia:

1. If the hyperplasia is slight and does not affect urination, you can usually pay attention to dietary regulation. It is most effective when it is severe and cannot urinate. The method is still urethral orifice reconstruction.

2. When a cat’s urethra is blocked due to urethral hyperplasia, catheterization can also be performed as soon as possible to prevent the complications of other inflammations.

3. When it is caused by inflammation such as urethritis, in this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time and use anti-inflammatory drugs for anti-inflammatory treatment.
