What is the cause of bifurcated urine?

Many people will encounter the phenomenon of bifurcated urine. In fact, it is generally a normal physical phenomenon. For example, there is residual semen left in the urethra after male ejaculation; or after waking up, the pressure in the bladder is high, which squeezes and deforms the urethra during urination, resulting in bifurcated urine. If bifurcated urine occurs for a long time, the urethra should be checked in time.

1. Split urine after masturbation or sex. This is mainly because after ejaculation, some semen remains in the urethra and the congestion of the corpus cavernosum has not completely disappeared, resulting in poor urine flow. In addition, the urethral sphincter becomes overly tense and spasms, which makes urination feel uncomfortable. It is a normal physiological reaction and there is no need to cause blind panic. This is a common cause of urine splitting when urinating.

2. Many people find bifurcated urine when they wake up from sleep. This is because after a whole night of sleep, a large amount of urine accumulates in the bladder, causing high pressure in the bladder. The urine is discharged with great force, causing the shape of the urethral opening to temporarily change. When there is no urine or semen passing through the human urethra, it is like a collapsed water pipe. However, when urine passes through, there will be a short period of obstruction. In addition, drinking a lot of alcohol, sexual impulses, etc. can also cause prostate congestion, resulting in difficulty in urination and bifurcated urine stream. The above situations are all temporary changes in urination and there is no need to worry too much.

3. If bifurcated urination occurs frequently or for a long time, it may be related to urinary and reproductive system diseases. Such as urethritis, prostatitis, etc. At this time, urine flow will be affected due to congestion, swelling and increased secretions in the urethra. Chronic inflammation can cause scarring, which can prevent urine from flowing out smoothly. In addition to bifurcated urine stream, this type of disease is often accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. In addition, urethral stones, or phimosis or foreskin that is too long can also cause narrowing of the external urethral opening.
