Does your child have it? Do you know what it is? I'd never heard of it until I started learning about the harms of infant circumcision — far too late, I might add, to protect my son. Meatal stenosis is a urethral stricture disease caused by circumcision. Because its protective foreskin has been removed, the urinary meatus (pee hole) at the tip of the glans (head) of a circumcised penis can develop inflammation and scar tissue and become abnormally narrow.
