no pain. feels good when I urinate. I noticed it some time ago, but haven't had sex for 10+ years, and never had any other symptoms that would make me worry about an STD. Lines are pink & seem to begin at the urethra & are about an inch long in a semi-circular path.

Brief Answer:
Stricture

Detailed Answer:
Hello

A small line which begins at the urethra which is not painful is most often a stricture, please meet a urologist for an examination and a scopy for further evaluation. If it is not causing any pain or difficulty in passing urine then you can wait till your next annual check up
