Bifurcation of the urinary tract does not necessarily indicate the onset of prostatitis
Post Date December, 03 2023
Many men may experience urinary tract bifurcations, sometimes even wetting their pants and shoes, causing great inconvenience to their normal lives. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon. Of course, if the urine forks for a long time or frequently, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations.
Urinary tract abnormalities are the most obvious and easily detected symptoms of prostatitis in men, and prostatitis may also trigger urinary bifurcation. Therefore, the statement that "urinary bifurcation indicates prostatitis" has become one of the diagnostic criteria for prostatitis.
Occasional urinary bifurcation is not pathological
Once the prostate gland expands, it will compress the urethra, causing urinary bifurcation. However, there are many factors that can cause prostate enlargement, such as inflammation and enlargement of the prostate, prostate hyperplasia, and even simple penile erection. Because when the penis is erect, the prostate gland also becomes congested, dilated, and secretes substances.
Some men may have experienced such experiences: having an erection at night or having an erection in the morning, going to the restroom to urinate and discovering a bifurcation in the urinary tract. Some male friends may occasionally experience urinary tract bifurcations after experiencing sexual impulses or engaging in sexual activity. Actually, this is a normal phenomenon.
Of course, if you have a urinary bifurcation for a long time or frequently, you should still go to the hospital for relevant examinations.
Urinary bifurcation with other urinary abnormalities in prostatitis
Bifurcation of urine is a common symptom of prostatitis, but in addition to having a bifurcated urine line, prostatitis is often accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. The common causes of the disease are bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, trichomonas, and mold.
At the same time, under the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, the affected tissues and organogenesis become inflamed, and the urethral mucosa exudate or prostate secretion increases. The secretion contains mucin. When the secretion flows to the external opening of the urethra, the water is evaporated, and the mucin makes the external opening of the urethra adhere and close, then the urinary line will also bifurcate.
