my brother is in a rehab facility and has had a catheder in for about three months. He complained about have the urge to urinate as you do when you have a bladder infection for about a week. Now he is being told that his penis has split and that this is normal. Is this true and how serious is it?
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum Catheter in the bladder can be a risk factor for urinary tract infection if kept long and not managed sterile. He might have got these symptoms because of infection. So, please consult treating doctor for the same.  Penis can have congenital anomalies like any other organ of the body. So, please provide a pic of it if possible for further suggestions on it.  All the best.
