I have send the e-mail to my surgeon about this problem, but i would like to have your opinion as well. I noticed it 2-3 days ago that the pee isn't coming out from the same hole where my catheter was back when i had it. Instead it's coming out of the small opening in clitoris (that part that was made of the penis glans). Should i be worrying about this?

That's pretty impossible... please before being concerned, make VERY sure your pee isn't rather exiting from your urethra maybe in a not even way or shaped in a manner (umbrella-like) so that it someway runs along your labial-meatus skin and then it finds at your clitoris a point to run off, giving you that false impression...

There's a stream coming out both of urethra and the opening in the meatus skin.

Or maybe it is suppose to come out of that hole. I don't understand why my surgeon made that hole in the first place.

I'm pre-op, but that sounds very strange, def see your surgeon (who was it BTW?)

It was dr. Pichet Rodchareon.

If you are recent post op, while I agree that you should either see your surgeon or a gynecologist, it could also be swelling that is making it seem to be coming out from the wrong place.  If there is urethral swelling, you tend to spray and do not stream the urine out.  At my 6 month point the swelling had largely gone down and things were much neater, and by the 12 month mark (in January) I can almost hit a target as well as I could while male.  Do however get a doctor to check it out.

please get it checked out. there is a medical condition that can come from surgeries or accidents that can cause something like you are describing. I don't know why my brain just blanked out on the name but it happened to my brother as a result of a motorcycle accident.

fistula?

I am like Mirian. I know how most of the surgeons do the one step (not sure about your doctor) the urethra is split, half goes up to line the inside of the clit and hood area, the other goes towards the vagina opening.

Yes i would give your doctor a call.

Lots of luck

I think that you're right. the pee is coming out of the urethra, but some of it comes out of clitoris but i think that part of the stream is going up and rains down from clitoris area. I was worrying mostly because i got a scratch on my clitoris at the airport when someone hit me in the surgical area with their baggage completely by accident so i got a little scar on my clitoris since then but i have no idea if that was the cause or something else. I was worrying that the urine is coming out of that new little "wound" but i think that i just paniced a little. By the way, the wound doesn't look serious and it doesn't get any infection so that's good. I've send the picture to my surgeon and he said that this weird peeing might be due to the swelling of the urethral opening. But i will see my local doctor although i don't think he will have anything smart to say to be honest.

I'd be very, very concerned. The clitoris is NOT supposed to contain the urethra. (Sometimes a surgeon will make the hood out of leftover urethral tissue, but that's different; it's stuff that was going to be thrown away otherwise, not the actual functioning urethra.) A normal clitoris does not have a hole in it, either. Heck, it's not even supposed to be particularly close to the urethra; there should be an inch or two between them, with the clit at the very top of the vulva and the urethra situated *just* above the vaginal opening.

It almost sounds like what's done to modify the new penis in a trans male surgery, which is... not what you wanted!

Basically, that's probably not dangerous but it is anatomically inaccurate, undesirable, and really weird. I hope it does turn out to be just an odd-looking intermediate healing stage, and not an actual hole there. Good luck getting it taken care of.

glad you aren't so worried now. give us an update after you visit the doctor.

That's exactly what I meant :)
Don't worry too much. I understand how easy it is to panic after *any* surgery :)
