What is meatal stenosis?
Meatal stenosis is a narrowing of the urethral opening, which can obstruct urinary flow.
What are the symptoms of meatal stenosis?
Symptoms may include difficulty urinating, a weak urine stream, or urinary retention.
How is meatal stenosis treated?
Treatment typically involves surgical procedures such as meatoplasty to widen the urethral opening.
What is the recovery time after meatoplasty?
Recovery time can vary, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks.
Are there any risks associated with the procedure?
As with any surgery, there are risks including infection, bleeding, and recurrence of stenosis.
How can recurrence of meatal stenosis be prevented?
Proper surgical technique and follow-up care are essential to minimize the risk of recurrence.
