Retrograde urethrogram (RUG) and voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) reveal irregularity, stricture and contrast media leakage in the bulbar segment of the urethra.

The penile, membranous and prostatic segments appear normal, and vesicoureteral reflux is seen on the right side.

Post-voiding residue is significantly more than normal limits.
