Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Betamethasone Cream	Betamethasone 0.1% cream was administered to the external meatus twice per day for a duration of 21 days.
PROCEDURE	meatotomy	In the event of steroid therapy failure, a meatotomy was performed under general anesthesia. The procedure involved squashing the ventral aspect of the pinpoint meatus for approximately 3-5 millimeters for 10 seconds and then incising it. The mucosal margins were sutured with absorbable sutures to avoid renarrowing. Urethral catheterization was not employed, and the procedure was performed on an outpatient basis. Patients were discharged following urination.
