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]
