This article is about the medical procedure. For the sexual act, see urethral sounding.

Urethral dilatation (also known as urethral dilation) is a urological procedure that uses medical probes called urethral sounds to enlarge the inside diameter of the urethra and locate obstructions in the urethra, or as a treatment for urethral strictures.[1]

It is distinct from urethral sounding carried out as an erotic activity.[2]
