Patient's question:
I have prostatitis, and I was originally unaware of it. It was during our pre-marital health check-up that the doctor told me I had prostatitis. I haven't treated it since then. Now I notice that my urine is split, occasionally. Yesterday, I urinated all day with severe splitting, but today it's fine.Doctor's answer:
There is a split in the urine stream, and this phenomenon is commonly seen in two situations. The first situation is certain diseases of the urinary and reproductive systems, such as urethritis, prostatitis, etc. In addition to the split urine stream, these diseases often accompany symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and pain. The causes of sepsis typically include bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, trichomonas, fungi, etc.The second situation is that the urine stream may split again after experiencing sexual arousal or having sexual intercourse. In the former case, sexual arousal causes the genital area to become flushed, and the secretion of glands in the urethra continuously increases. In the latter case, leftover semen flows out of the urethra, and its functional mechanism is roughly the same as during inflammation.
