Where is the female urethra?

There is no doubt that both men and women have urethral openings in their reproductive organs, which are the entrance and exit for urine metabolism in our human body. Because the female urethral opening and the vagina are very close, many women mistakenly believe that the urethral opening is the vaginal opening, and are even less clear about the specific location of the female urethral opening. So where is the female urethra? What is the difference between the female urethra and the vagina? Let's take a closer look!

Where is the female urethra?

We know that the female reproductive organs are mainly the urethra and vagina, and the female urethral opening is encapsulated in the vulva, and the smaller one at the top is the urethral opening. From the appearance, the female urethral opening is mainly located in front of the vulva, and the two are in the same space, which is mainly used for the excretion of waste.

What is the difference between the female urethra and vagina?

(1) Although the female urethral opening and the vulva are in the same space, they are separate entities. It is not the urethral opening or the vulva. I hope you will not confuse the two.

(2) From the perspective of spatial position, the female urethral opening is directly in front of the vulva, so when observing with the naked eye, usually only the vulva can be seen at first glance, and the existence of the female urethral opening cannot be seen.

(3) From the comparison of the elasticity of the two, the elasticity of the urethral opening is much lower than that of the vagina. This is because the vagina can expand and give birth to a baby during pregnancy, and its elasticity is very large, while the size of the urethral opening is not easy to change.

(4) The wear resistance of the female urethral opening is lower than that of the vagina, so the possibility of damage to the urethral opening is greater.

(5) The urethral opening mainly leads to the bladder, while the vagina leads to the uterus. The urethral opening is used to metabolize waste, but the vagina is the key place for women to get pregnant and pass on their family line.

The above is a brief introduction about the female urethral opening. In daily life, many people often confuse the female urethral opening with the vulva. I hope that through the introduction in the previous article everyone can understand the difference between them and pay attention to taking relevant protective measures to avoid adverse effects.
