What is urine bifurcation?

Urinary bifurcation is a phenomenon in which urine bifurcates when urinating, presenting double strands and scattering.

Urinary bifurcation is caused by temporary partial obstruction of the anterior urethra or urethral opening. The causes of this phenomenon are mainly related to physiological factors and pathological factors. In the morning, because urine accumulates in the bladder, pressure increases, which will increase the strength of urination. At this time, the shape of the urethral opening temporarily changes, which will form physiological urinary bifurcation. If there is urinary tract infection, urethral stones, urethral stricture, etc., it will lead to partial urethral obstruction, resulting in difficulty in urine discharge, and then pathological urinary bifurcation. Patients with urinary bifurcation suspected of disease factors, should seek medical attention in time.
