How long is the female urethra?

The urethra is the tube that leads from the bladder to the outside of the body. The male urethra is slender, about 18 cm long, starting from the internal urethral opening of the bladder and going up to the external urethral opening. It passes through the male prostate, membrane and cavernous part during its course. The male urethra has both urination and ejaculation functions. The female urethral opening is thick and short, about 5 cm long. It originates from the internal opening of the urethra, passes through the front of the vagina, and opens into the vaginal vestibule. The male urethra has a circular expansion composed of striated muscles in the membranous part of the urethra, called the external urethral expansion, which is controlled by the mind. When the female urethral opening passes through the urogenital diaphragm in the perineum, it is surrounded by the urethral vaginal sphincter, which is a striated muscle and is also controlled by beliefs.

The female urethral opening is very short, only 2.5-5 cm long, with an average of 3.5 cm and a diameter of 8 mm. It is easy to expand to 10-13 mm. It has no bends and is located in the vagina, behind the ischial tuberosity, starting from the bladder neck and moving downward to the front to the urethral opening.

The female urethral opening is generally about 5 cm long. The female urethral opening is short and thick, which is easy to expand. Because the female urethral opening is relatively short, microorganisms can easily invade the urethral opening, which can easily cause cystitis and urethritis.

Therefore, you should get enough rest, drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating food, don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, don't stay up late, eat more fruits and vegetables, eat more high-protein foods, pay attention to hygiene, especially the hygiene of the vulva, and have a healthy and regular sex life.
