Split urine only in the beginning of the stream

[lilloliao]

hi there,
i've been suffering from split urine for years. In my case, it is a bit different from most people. My urine only splits into two in the beginning of the stream near my urethral, forming a small arch, and then joins together.So eventually I only have one stream every time.

I've never had other complaints such as pain, burning sensation, blood but I do feel a decrease in sex drive and a difficulty of erection lately, although they could be a result of recent depression.

My worry is that this situation might indicate some other several health problem like prostatitis, urinary tracy infection.

I would like to know whether someone else here experiences the same? and what should I do about it?

Thanks!

I'm circumcised and this happens to me most of the time - only at the beginning. I think it's normal. Do you wear briefs? They may dry the opening out a bit more than boxers.

P.S. Even if you're not circumcised, it's still something that happens. It's just that most uncircumcised men aren't as aware of it because the split urine stream merges when it passes out of their foreskin.

Hey there, would I be right in assuming that you're circumcised? I am, and this happens to me quite often. Apparently it's because the tip of your penis isn't as moist when you're circumcised and the opening to the urethra can get a bit dry and sticky at times. It's not a sign of anything to worry about.
