I'm experiencing something unusual when I go to the bathroommy urine's getting split into two streams. It's flowing clear and everything, but it's kind of odd. A couple of days ago, I had this pain and sensation while peeing, and the doctor said it was an infection, so I took some medicine and that part seems better now. What I'm wondering is, should I be worried about this split thing, and what should I do about it?

The split urine stream, also known as urinary bifurcation, can be caused by various factors, including urethral stricture, bladder neck contracture, or prostate enlargement; given your recent urinary tract infection (UTI) and resolved symptoms, the split stream might be a temporary aftermath, but it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.

I'm having this weird cold chill sensation at the tip of my penis every now and then. My urine and STD tests came back normal, which is a relief, but I'm still bothered by this feeling. I've been taking meds for angular stomatitis, and Matilda forte for some rare penis numbness I'd occasionally get when sitting cross-legged for too long, but the numbness has been improving. The chillness is super irritating, and it's hard for me to describe it properly to my GP. I noticed if I drink a couple of glasses of water or wash the area with warm water, it might get a bit better or just disappear, not totally sure. I have this theory that these sensations started after I was on some meds for a minor skin infection, and had to suddenly stop them when I was told to just drink a lot of water, which I never felt this way before. Could you help me figure out whats going on?
