Many men experience a split urine stream in their lives. Is splitting of urine a symptom of prostatitis?

Split urine stream can be a clue to prostatitis. It is mainly caused by the mucous liquid secreted after the inflammatory stimulation of prostatic fluid and the local adhesion and foreign bodies formed near the urethra and the outer orifice of the urethra when the adhesive liquid discharge under the stimulation of the inflammation of prostatitis. It is commonly seen in the first urination in the morning when there is no urination during the night.

Because of the low water intake and low urination frequency at night, urethral secretions tend to accumulate and form clots, which collect at the outer orifice of the urethra and cause a split urine stream. Splitting of urine can also be caused by local obstruction caused by infection of the urinary reproductive tract. 

When patients with prostatitis have excessively frequent sex and masturbation habits, they may appear urethra and reproductive tract secretion of excessive viscous fluid, which leads to the blockage of the outer urethra mouth, causing a split urine stream.

There is also a split urine stream line after sexual excitement or sexual intercourse sometimes. The former is due to sexual excitement, making the genitals congested and causing an increase in glandular secretion. In contrast, the latter is caused by the outflow of the sperm remaining in the urethra, which acts in much the same way as inflammation.

However, split urine is not always associated with prostatitis. It is related to physiological and pathological reasons. For the splitting of urine caused by physiological ones, it is unnecessary to undergo unique treatments, and patients just need to have a regular sex life and end masturbation. The pathological causes, on the other hand, include certain diseases of the genitourinary system, such as urethritis, prostatitis, etc.
