Meatitis
Meatitis is inflammation of the urinary meatus which is the opening of the urethra at the tip of the glans penis.[1]
Meatitis occurs in circumcised male infants because of the loss of the natural protection provided by the foreskin.[2]
Tuncer & Erten (2017) collected information regarding complications of circumcision from hospital records in Turkey. They reported one case of meatitis.[3]
