MEATAL STENOSIS
Meatal stenosis is a condition where the meatus -the opening of at the tip of the penis becomes narrower. Stenosis means that a passage in your body is narrower than normal. This condition can be there at birth or it can happen later in life.
The symptoms of meatal stenosis happen as a result of urine flow becoming partly blocked.
Patients can experience symptoms like:
- Pain or burning while urinating.
- Sudden urges to urinate.
- Having to urinate often.
- A small, narrow, very fast urinary stream.
- A urinary flow that sprays (usually upward) or is difficult to aim.
- Trouble with fully emptying your bladder.
- A drop of blood at the tip of the penis after urinating.
