Overview
Sometimes the opening of the penis where urine passes can become blocked. This can cause problems with urination. This article should help you understand this condition and how it can be treated.
The main roles of the penis are to carry urine and sperm out of the body. The urethra is the tube that carries urine and sperm through the penis to the outside. The opening to the outside is called the "meatus."
