Add prevention information.
'''Meatal stenosis''' is a narrowing of the ''meatus'' (the opening of the urethra). Meatal stenosis is extremely rare in intact boys with a protective [[foreskin]]. About twenty percent of circumcised boys develop meatal stenosis. Meatal stenosis may be prevented by avoiding child [[circumcision]], which is a medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic surgical amputation procedure.
