A photo of male urinary meatus viewed externally

In the context of human male genitals, Meatus is the name of the termination and orifice of the urethra at the tip of the glans penis, through which urine is discharged.[1]

The meatus is protected by the foreskin of the intact normal penis. When a boy has been circumcised and has lost the protection of his foreskin, the meatus is more likely to develop meatitis,[2] meatal ulceration,[3] and/or meatal stenosis.[4][5] Foreskinned boys rarely, if ever, develop these issues.[5]
