What is meatal stenosis?

Also known as: urethral meatal stenosis, urethral stricture.

The urethra is the tube from the bladder through which urine passes before it exits the body through a hole at the tip of the penis called the meatus. Mental stenosis is a common, abnormal narrowing of the meatus generally occurring in young boys.
