Medical Conditions - Meatal Tear

Posterior urethral trauma from an injury may tear the urethra completely away below the prostate in men. These wounds sometimes form scar tissue that slows or blocks the urine flow. Urethral injuries are rare in women and are often associated with pelvic fractures, cuts, or tears. Trauma to the urethra may lead to swelling, inflammation, infection, and pain in the belly. Urethral tears require surgery to heal.
