Can A Meatus Tear Be Surgically Fixed?

I had small tear on the upper side of meatus few years ago. It usually doesn t hurt, but the problem is, the opening is becoming bigger now. Over period of time, the tear is slowly increasing in size, causing spraying of urination and little discomfort. If left unattended, its just going to get bigger. Is there a solution to it? Can the meatus be surgically fixed? How big is the surgery and how long it takes to heal? Thanks.

Hi there
it can be fixed but the complication of that is that you can end up with a very tight meatus making urination difficult. I suggest that you discuss this with an urologist
