Why does male urine split? Common causes of split urine

Generally speaking, when men urinate, their urine will not split. If it suddenly occurs, you should pay attention to it. Of course, according to andrology experts, there are many reasons why men's urine splits, and it is not necessarily caused by diseases. Here is a detailed explanation of the reasons for male friends' urine splitting.

1. Occasionally split urine

Occasional bifurcated urine stream is mostly caused by adhesion of the urethra. It can return to normal after flushing with urine flow and is not a symptom.

① Some professions, such as drivers, computer users, salespersons, etc., are often too busy to go to the toilet, which can easily cause a split urine stream.

② The first urination after male ejaculation may also experience bifurcated urination because some semen still remains in the urethra and the congestion of the corpus cavernosum has not completely disappeared, resulting in a blocked urine flow.

③Drinking a lot of alcohol can also cause prostate congestion, difficulty urinating and bifurcated urine stream.

④ Some male friends usually have bifurcated urination after waking up in the morning. This is normal. This is because after a whole night of sleep, a large amount of urine is accumulated in the bladder, resulting in high pressure in the bladder. The urine is discharged with great force, causing the shape of the urethral opening to temporarily change.

All of the above situations are temporary changes in urination, not pathological, and there is no need to worry.

2. Long-term bifurcated urination

Long-term bifurcated urination is likely to be related to diseases such as urethritis and prostatitis. The causes of the disease are usually bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, trichomonas, fungi, etc. Under the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, the affected tissues and organs become inflamed, and the urethral mucosal exudates or prostatic secretions increase. The secretions contain mucin components. When the secretions flow to the external urethral opening, the water evaporates, and the mucin causes the external urethral opening to adhere and close, which will also cause bifurcated urine streams.

① Long-term bifurcated urination is mostly due to the narrowness of the posterior urethra or urethral opening, or scars formed after chronic inflammation, which leads to the inability to discharge urine smoothly. It is common in patients with chronic urethritis (mostly gonococcal).

② During acute urethritis and prostatitis, due to urethral congestion, swelling, and increased secretions, the smooth flow of urine may be affected and bifurcation may occur.

③ Bifurcated urine is a symptom of chronic prostatitis. Prostate disease can cause abnormal urination, urine retention, bifurcated urine, swelling and discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum, and white discharge from the urethra. Patients can come to the hospital for a special prostate fluid routine test and prostate B-ultrasound, and at the same time, the doctor will perform an anal diagnosis to determine whether they have prostatitis.
