What does MEATAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to a meatus, the natural passage or opening of a canal in the body.
Meatal is simply the adjective built from meatus, added to a noun to say that something sits right at that particular spot, such as the ear canal or urinary tract. Doctors reach for the word to describe swelling, narrowing, or injury located exactly there rather than deeper inside the tract. Because meatus names several different sites in the body, meatal always needs a noun beside it for context, as in meatal stenosis of the urethra or meatal inflammation of the ear.
How MEATAL is used
A technical medical term, used almost exclusively in clinical description of the ear, nose, or urinary passages.
- The surgeon noted mild meatal swelling after the procedure.
- A meatal stricture narrowed the opening of the urethra.
- The ear exam revealed no meatal discharge.
- Meatal stenosis can make urination noticeably slower.
- The nurse recorded the meatal appearance in her notes.
