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 have type 2 partial retraction where I can pull the foreskin back a bit but it won't go past the head of my penis and I also have a tight frenulum is there any way to fix this without getting circumcision

Topical steroid creams and frenulum-stretching techniques may help. Circumcision is only needed if it interferes with function or causes tears.

I'm feeling a bit self-conscious about my erection size, which is about 10 cm. I'm wondering if there's any realistic way to increase it significantly, maybe to something like 55.5 inches? Is this even possible or am I aiming too high?

It's important to understand that penis size can vary greatly among individuals, and factors such as genetics play a significant role. While some treatments like exercises or devices claim to help, their effectiveness is often limited. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to address any concerns you may have.
