Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The urethra is a structure that helps in passage of urine and semen in males. The walls are thin and lined with epithelium. When not in use, the walls stick together and this is normal. There is no serious concern if the urethra walls are collapsed.

Problems in the urethra occur only when there is any infection which might cause obstruction to the flow of urine. This leads to burning and painful urination. You do not have any symptoms and therefore there is no possible infection. It is possible that if you get frequent erections, there might be some fuzz which is stuck to the urethra. This is not related to any disease but possible that there is slight secretion when you have an erection and this collects the fuzz in the urethra. Please do not worry.
