What causes bifurcated urine in men?

Urinating is something that everyone has to do in life, especially for some men. Because of the special nature of their genitals, urine sometimes splits when they urinate, which causes some urine to spill outside the toilet and needs to be cleaned up further, which is very troublesome. In fact, split urine is related to some diseases or current physical conditions. So, what is the reason for split urine in men?

Many male friends have experienced similar embarrassment, with bifurcated urine when urinating. Bifurcated urine is caused by temporary partial obstruction of the anterior urethra or urethral opening. There are two situations, one is normal and the other is abnormal.

Why does a man's urine split? For bifurcated urine, not all patients are caused by some diseases, because there are other reasons, some of which are physiological. Of course, there are also many people who have pathological reasons.

It is sporadic or temporary and is mostly unrelated to disease. It is mainly due to temporary obstruction of the anterior urethra or urethral opening.

For example: because urine accumulates in the bladder all night, the pressure inside the bladder is high, and the urine is discharged with great force, causing the shape of the urethral opening to change temporarily.

Another reason is that after a man ejaculates, some semen remains in the urethra and the congestion of the corpus cavernosum has not completely disappeared, resulting in a blocked urine flow. These situations are temporary changes in urination and are not pathological, so there is no need to worry.

Sometimes bifurcated urine is caused by diseases. If bifurcated urine is frequent or long-term, it is likely related to some diseases. Long-term bifurcated urine is mostly caused by narrowing of the posterior urethra or urethral opening, or scarring after chronic inflammation, which prevents urine from flowing smoothly. Acute urethritis and prostatitis can cause bifurcated urine due to congestion, swelling, and increased secretions in the urethra, which can affect the smooth flow of urine.

When men have bifurcated urine, Chinese medicine mainly considers two conditions in clinical practice. One is kidney deficiency, with symptoms such as spermatorrhea, nocturnal emission, cloudy urine, bifurcated urine, frequent urination, back pain, weakness in the limbs, dizziness, insomnia, tinnitus, palpitations, vision loss, depression, etc. The other is urinary tract stones.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney governs water. Controlling water mainly means that it plays an extremely important role in regulating the balance of water in the body. The kidney's retention, distribution and excretion of water in the body are mainly accomplished by the kidney's qi transformation function, and the driving force of qi transformation is kidney yang. It also depends on the regulatory function of kidney yang and kidney yin, which is usually likened to "opening" and "closing".

In traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment of bifurcated urine in men is generally believed to be that the kidney yang is responsible for opening and the kidney yin is responsible for closing. If the kidney yin is insufficient, the urine will open more and close less, and the urine will be frequent and prone to bifurcated urine. During treatment, the kidney yin should be nourished to maintain the dynamic balance of the human body's physiology.
