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.
