It's been established for a long time that Klingon bodies evolved to possess extra organs as backups. They had two livers, three lungs, multiple stomachs, an eight-chambered heart, and twenty-three ribs, just to name a few things.

In the first season finale of Star Trek: Discovery we learned another fact about Klingon anatomy when a Klingon appeared briefly in the background, peeing on a wall at the Orion colony on Qo'noS.

You may have noticed there were two streams.

Indeed, Klingons are now officially confirmed to have extra genitals and the fanfiction community is probably going wild. The attention to continuity is admirable, though many questions still remain. Are they arranged vertically or horizontally? How many genitals does a half-Klingon have? Do they have ridges? We may never know for sure.

Honestly, some questions are probably okay to leave unanswered.
