Where is the female urethra located?

The female urethra is mainly located below the clitoris and above the vagina. The female urethra is an important female urinary organ with a special location, in a very private place. It is covered by the labia majora and labia minora and is generally not easy to observe.

The female urethra is mainly included inside the labia majora. The urethral opening can be seen. It is mainly a small hole-like structure with a relatively smooth surface. The aperture is about 3 cm to 4 cm. The female urethra, generally with the increase of age, is likely to cause significant thickening of the local urethral mucosa. It will also cause symptoms of urethral mucosal prolapse, and the color will also change significantly, causing it to become dark red.

When the urethra is infected, the patient mainly shows symptoms of bleeding and local erosion, accompanied by thrombosis. Urinary tract infection is likely caused by factors such as failure to clean and care for the urethral opening, which may cause symptoms of redness, swelling and pain at the urethral opening. You should go to the urology department of a medical institution for a detailed examination as soon as possible. If necessary, you can take oral anti-inflammatory and anti-infection drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

You should also keep the urethral opening clean at ordinary times to reduce adverse stimulation to the urethral opening, and use warm water to clean it before going to bed every night.
