Why does bifurcated urine occur after circumcision?

For Asian men, there are some problems with their reproductive organs, the most common of which is the foreskin being too long. Although sometimes the foreskin being too long does not affect normal bowel movements or sexual life, it is still best to have surgery as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy for dirt to accumulate in the foreskin, which can cause urinary system diseases. So, why does urine split after circumcision surgery?

In the first few days after circumcision, the foreskin will generally swell at the wound site, and even the glans penis will swell, and it will irritate the anterior urethra, causing bifurcated urine. Foreskin edema is common after circumcision, and it will subside as the wound heals, so there is no need to worry. Bifurcated urine is also temporary, so there is no need to be nervous. Actively treat the wound and prevent infection. Bifurcated urine does not necessarily mean that you are sick.

Circumcision

Phimosis means that when the penis is in a relaxed state, the foreskin covers the entire glans. If the foreskin not only covers the entire glans, but also has a narrow opening and cannot be turned outward, this condition is medically called phimosis.

The foreskin covers the urethral opening, but can be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. Generally, the mild adhesion between the glans penis and the foreskin of boys disappears on their own after the age of 3, and the foreskin can be turned up. However, the turned-up foreskin in childhood often covers the urethral opening, and the glans penis gradually becomes exposed during puberty. When the penis of an adult is soft, the foreskin does not cover the urethral opening, and the foreskin can be turned up to expose the coronal sulcus, which is a foreskin of normal length. Excessive foreskin can cause smegma to accumulate in the foreskin, causing balanitis. Repeated inflammation can cause the foreskin opening to shrink and adhere to the glans penis to form a phimosis. Penile cancer may be related to long-term stimulation by smegma.

The foreskin opening is narrow or the foreskin is adhered to the glans penis, so that the foreskin covering the penis cannot be turned back to expose the urethral opening and glans penis. In severe cases of phimosis, the foreskin opening may be very narrow, and sometimes the urethral opening is also narrow, affecting urination.

Therefore, people with phimosis and prepuce that are too long should undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. It is worth mentioning that although prepuce that is too long has little impact on health, it may sometimes form an incarcerated foreskin due to the narrow foreskin opening, that is, the foreskin is tightly tied to the coronal sulcus of the penis and cannot be pushed down. At this time, it should be manually restored as soon as possible. If manual restoration is not possible, the doctor should be asked to cut the tight foreskin opening and then perform circumcision.
