I was told that I have two urethras, is that possible?

Hello there,
Yes this is possible and two urethras is a congenital condition which results in two ureters draining a single kidney.
This is very rare condition and it happens to 1 % of population so you are really among the rearrests known cases. This condition is also called duplicated ureter.
Since everything about this is very interesting I hope that you will continue to inform us about further actions in your case. What did your doctor said and how did you find out about this anyway. I know that sometimes this condition can be similar to the symptoms of UTI and that this is the way it is usually discovered. Keep us posted about your condition.

I ALSO AM A WOMAN OF 70, AND WAS TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THAT I HAVE TWO URETHAS, I KNOW ITS POSSIBLE.

Yes. It is possible. I actually had surgery at the age of three and had one urethra removed because it caused my kidneys to get infected. I actually had 1/3 of my kidney removed with it because of this.

I have two urtheas and I found out when I had kidney laser surgery and the urologist could only break up one of the stones due to my having two urtheas and they put a stint in each on and left it in until they can do the second surgery. I had no idea and I am 61 years old but I have had a lot of problems with UTIs since my mid 50's

The Urethra drains the bladder, not the kidney. Ureters drain the kidney. These are 2 different conditions.

You are confused. Urethra drains the bladder. You are describing a different condition
