What Causes Torn Urinary Meatus?
Question: hi, my meatus of my penis seems to be torn. It seems to have been torn up or dorsally. It has been about 1/4 of an inch in length for most my life until recently i noticed it is about 1/5 an inch in length. There is no pain or blood. Sometimes there is discomfort during intercourse. On urination my stream is as if it is two streams of urine. It does not look right. What can be done about this? Will it tear more? Should i be worried? Please help
