Surgeries: Many surgical procedures can result in urethral stricture as the post-operative side effect. Mainly, surgeries done to remove prostate-related disorders can lead to urethral stricture—the hypospadias surgery used to correct the position of the urethral opening. 

Infections: Urinary tract infections which are mainly producing their effects in the urethra and causing inflammation there, can also be a reason for urethral stricture.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases: STDs can also cause severe infection in the urethra, leading to urethral stricture.
