Diabetic males may have sugar in their urine. The sugar makes yeast [[balanitis]] more likely.

Urine may be used to flush out the [[preputial sac]] when the [[foreskin]] does not retract. Some [[foreskinned ]] men worry about having urine inside the [[foreskin]], however their concern is misplaced. The epithelium of the tissue inside the [[preputial sac]] is [[mucosa]], which designed by nature to tolerate a moist environment.

Urine inside an infant's diaper (nappy) may become ammonia. If the infant is a [[circumcised]] boy, who has been deprived of the protection of his [[foreskin]], then the ammonia may attack the [[meatus]] and cause [[meatitis]] or worse, [[meatal stenosis]], which requires a second operation to open the [[urethra]].
