32 years old male and for the last few years when i urinate it splits into 2 and goes in different directions. apart from being inconvenient there is no pain but sometimes feel pressure. is it worth telling the doctor or will i look silly?

Urethral stricture?: This is nothing "silly" at all. See a doctor, preferably a urologist. Probably there is partial obstruction to urine flow . Possible causes include urethral stricture (scarring) from past infection; a wart, especially if you past genital warts (but usually wouldn't last years), or fibroma or similar benign tumor. Partly passed stone could do it, but not years and usuallly causes pain and bleeding.

Urine Stream: Please do consult your doctor. He/she may refer you to a urologist. Peace and good health.

Not silky: You are not silly for noting something is different with your body. A split stream could indicate some type of obstruction like a stone or a urethral stricture. Don't ignore them and end up with kidney damage. Have your doctor check things out!
