Urethral polyps (p01yp of the urethra) can also be considered as a benign tumor that occurs in the urethra. It can be congenital or it can be a urethral ectopic position of the prostate tissue.

For multiple adenomas or adenomas larger than 20 mm with atypical hyperplasia, a follow-up check is conducted every 3 to 6 months. If the test result is negative, a follow-up check is conducted once a year. If the test result is negative for two consecutive times, a follow-up check is conducted once every 3 years. The follow-up check time should be no less than 15 years.
