What is the reason for the bifurcation of the urethral opening?

Urethral opening bifurcation generally refers to urinary flow bifurcation at the urethral opening when urinating, which may be caused by non-disease factors, and may also be related to disease factors, such as urethritis, prostatitis, etc.

First, non-disease factors

If there is no urination for a long time, it will lead to excessive bladder filling. When urination, the strength of urination is too large, which will cause temporary changes in the shape of urethral orifice, and the phenomenon of urinary flow bifurcation will usually disappear with the passage of time.

Second, disease factors

1, urethritis

urethritis may be gonococcus, Escherichia coli, chlamydia trachomatis and other pathogens caused by infection, urethritis for a long time does not heal, will lead to urethral intima tissue proliferation, resulting in urethral stricture, urine flow bifurcation phenomenon when urination.

2, prostatitis

prostatitis may be caused by bacterial infection, irregular sexual life, sedentary and other factors will also induce this disease, patients due to prostate congestion edema, will cause pressure on the urethra, leading to urethral narrowing, urine flow bifurcation phenomenon.
