Welcome Samantha,
Looking at the above image I cannot tell if I am looking at healthy mucosal folds of the urethra or abnormal tissue. However the lack of redness (inflammation) and ulceration suggests this is normal urethral tissue just a bit more exaggerated folds than what you might normally see.

If you continue to worry this is not normal, your vet could easily take a few impression smears and examine the slides for abnormal cells.

Thank you so much, I do worry to much about him(not good really) I will keep close eye on it and if any change I will get vet to do the impression smears,just worried as he has little wart on 3rd eyelid and thought they might be linked.
