The external opening of the female urethra is adjacent to the vulva and anus, and is easily contaminated by vaginitis metabolism and excreta. It is wide and short, only 3 to 4 cm long. The internal and external openings of the vagina are smooth and oval. When the hymen of a married woman is ruptured, the remaining scars turn upwards and cover the external opening of the urethra in a scattered manner.

1. Candidal vaginitis: Women may experience itching of the private parts, vulva, vaginal opening, urethral opening, redness of the private parts, dregs-like leucorrhea, and a strong odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes in the vulvar dermatitis.

2. Toxoplasmosis: Women experience itching in the private parts and vulva, itching in the urethra, and foam-like discharge, often accompanied by a unique odor. After scratching, they also experience eczematous changes in the vulvar dermatitis. Acid-fast staining of female secretions can be used to distinguish the above samples.

3. Local skin is not clean: Some women use handkerchiefs improperly, and the vulva skin is soaked by menstruation, female secretions, and even urine, excrement and sweat, which makes the local skin inflamed, resulting in itching of the vulva and urethra.

4. Drug allergy: Women with allergic constitutions may experience "fixed drug rash" when taking some drugs. It often occurs at the junction of the vulvar skin and mucosa. In addition to local itching, it may also be complicated by erosion and exudation. Using medicines for vaginal cleaning or vaginal insertion in women, if allergic symptoms and contact dermatitis occur, it can also cause vulvar itching and urethral itching.

For healthy and mature women, the color of the private parts is slightly darker than the color of other parts of the body. The older you are, the darker the color. If you find that your vulva is pale or very red, you need to go to the hospital for examination, as it may be a gynecological inflammation. Therefore, if women find any abnormality in the urethra opening, they should go to the hospital immediately for treatment.
