Urethral Meatal Stenosis treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Urethral meatal stenosis is a narrowing of the meatus, the opening through which urine exits at the end of the urethra. As this opening narrows, the passage of urine can become difficult.

How it presents: A thin or deflected urine stream, straining to urinate, spraying, or a sensation of incomplete emptying.

Common causes: It may be congenital or appear from irritation, inflammation, or scarring of the area.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the one who evaluates this condition, and in childhood the pediatric urologist; the pediatrician or general practitioner can guide the first contact. If you notice persistent changes when urinating, the recommendation is to discuss it with a professional who can examine the cause.
