It wouldn't be anything wrong with the urethra, just an asymmetry at the meatus (the hole where it comes out). Does it cause you serious problems? If it doesn't it is best left alone.

I piss at an angle
-
the only problem it causes is that i cannot really aim and usually create a mess when pissing in public. sometimes it also comes out in a straight line but usually not.i just worried that there could be something in the urethra which makes the urine beam come out at an angle. I also noticed that the beam itself has a twist like an alpha helix. Like when you have a flat paper band which is a few mm wide and then you take the one end of the band and turn it then you get this helix structure. Is this normal?
-
My stream has that flat twist to it. There's nothing wrong with that.I also pee sideways sometimes and it's usually because one side of the hole doesn't line up with the other one, usually due to the confined space in which it resides (my underpants). What helps me is just gently pulling the hole open before peeing.
-
Just curious.If normal would be your piss coming out aimed at "12 o'clock", where on the clock would your piss usually be aimed? 1 o'clock?2 o'clock?10 o'clock?etc.
-
I'd say it usually comes out at 10 o clock. It's hardly ever really 12 o'clock. And sometimes when I don't have much pressure and it only more or less dribbles out then it's even more to the left. Sometimes when I start peeing and have only little pressure then I've had it go to 9 o'clock which is almost straight to the side but that's only at the beginning when the flow increases then the line becomes straighter but it can really be messy when you start to pee and it goes to the side. I dont know if I should tell a doc about this. I'm also not keen on unnecessary examinations or getting a camera in the urethra.
-
Personally, I would call and make an appointment to see the doctor but go in for a yearly physical and then discuss it then. Let him know you have some concerns about the angle and maybe lack of pressure. Someone your age should not be having low pressure issues. That's usually a sign your prostate is enlarged....so make the appointment. I doubt they would be sticking a camera up your urethra unless they suspected something really wrong
-
Hypospadias? A "bottom squirter" maybe?
-
I don't think I have pressure issues. When there's not much in the bladder then the pressures also not high. Isn't that normal? When I have a full bladder and am about to piss my pants then I also have a high pressure. But when the pressure isn't high then the stream is never straight but always to the side.
-
Hypospadias, which ScottP14 referred to, is when the pee-hole is lower down, on the underside of the penis.
-
i sometimes pee in two streams! like a bottom and top stream and sometimes its even a spray between the two. its been like this for as long as i can remember so i dont think weird piss trajectories are anything to be worried about
