	eMedicine - Meatal Stenosis : Article Excerpt by: Carlos A Angel, MD
		Meatal stenosis is a relatively common acquired condition occurring in 9-10% of males who are circumcised.
		Because this condition is exceedingly rare in children who are not circumcised, circumcision is believed to be the most important causative factor of meatal stenosis.
		Another hypothetical cause of this condition is ischemia due to damage to the frenular artery during circumcision, resulting in poor blood supply to the meatus and subsequent stenosis.

		Meatal Stenosis as the name suggests in narrowing of the external urethral meatus.It may be congenital (ie) present right from birth or it may be acquired.When meatal stenosis is congenital, it is associated with other anomaly namely hypospadias- A defect in which the urethral opening is situated on the undersurface of the penis.
		Meatal stenosis might also be caused due to a condition called Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans.
		Meatal stenosis in adults occurs following inflammation, specific or non-specific urethral infection and trauma (especially in association with indwelling catheters or urethral instrumentation.

	Meatal stenosis and circumcision
		The cardinal symptoms of meatal stenosis were penile pain at the initiation of micturition (12 of 12), narrow, high velocity stream (8 of 12) and the need to sit or stand back from the toilet bowl to urinate (6 of 12).
		Meatal stenosis as a complication is often missed by the clinician because children do not usually have late follow-up after circumcision.
		Another explanation of post-circumcision meatal stenosis could be ischaemia of the meatal mucosa, as several techniques of circumcision involve damage to the frenular artery.

	Meatal Stenosis from Pediatrics / Urology
		Diagnosis of meatal stenosis can be suspected by the presence of a small meatus during examination, particularly if, with lateral traction, the ventral edges of the meatus appear fused.
		Symptoms of meatal stenosis often are mistaken for urinary tract infections and, unfortunately, are treated empirically with antibiotics.
		Meatal stenosis is not a cause of urinary tract infections, hydronephrosis, or any form of obstruction of the lower urinary tract.
