A member asked:
Is it abnormal to have double ureters on both sides of my body?

Abnormal is too : Strong of a word. It would be classified as an anatomic variant. Likely not an issue unless the anatomy allows reflux (backward flow) of urine from the bladder to the kidneys which is a set up for recurrent kidney infections.
