Question 1

is it possible to rip your urethra hole on female?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Urethral trauma can occur resulting in tearing, lacerations, and dilation.

Question 2

is a urethra located in women only? or do men have it as well ?

Accepted Answer

Urethra in both: The urethra is a tube that connects the urinary bladder to the genitals for the removal of fluids from the body. In males, the urethra travels through the penis, and carries semen as well as urine. In females, the urethra is shorter and emerges above the vaginal opening.

Question 3

can you still lift weights even if you have an inflamed urethra. does it aggravate the urethra?

Accepted Answer

: I have no reason to believe that working out would aggravate an inflamed urethra. It does not participate actively in a workout. If anything. the improved general blood flow from a workout could speed healing.

Question 4

should the female urethra be white?

Accepted Answer

: You probably should have that examined and probably biopsied. It means if you now see white there is a change and at an advanced age chances of cancerous changes are higher. It is also possible that fuzzing from bacteria overgrowth, like the tongue, may also do that.

Question 5

how to find female urethra for caterization?

Accepted Answer

See below: You may watch this video for instruction, but I would not recommend relying just on this for training. You should get instruction from a qualified nurse.

Question 6

what color should the opening to the female urethra be?

Accepted Answer

Pink to tan: The lining inside the urethral is pink and the lining outside the meatus or opening is tan. With infection or inflammation the urethra can become red.

Question 7

help please! i'm having white thing coming out of female urethra! never happened before?

Accepted Answer

White thing in...: female urethra.  Sounds like a fibroepithelial polyp from your age of 31y.  You need an evaluation by a urologist with cystoscopy likely.

Question 8

i wanted to know how the female urethra opening should look is the opening a perfect circle?

Accepted Answer

Imperfect: Very few things about people are perfect.  The appearance of the female urethral opening (meatus) can vary pretty widely.

Question 9

i am a female. 18 years old. and i can see my urethra. it hangs out of my body. it's been this way for a while. is something wrong?

Accepted Answer

Maybe!: Maybe not.  Are you obese? This is critical, since it would be more likely pathologic.  Do you have a large clitoris.  It may then be normal.  Are you having problems with leakage and control? You did not mention this.  If you have issues, see a urologist!

Question 10

can the urethra be inflamed without there being an infection?

Accepted Answer

Yes indeed: Soap, perfumes, spermicides, etc can cause painful inflammation of the urethra (especially in women). However, infection is always a possibility. "Urethral syndrome" is the name often given to infection with UTI bacteria, but too few to count as abnormal on urine culture. Gonorrhea and chlamydia also can do it, if at risk for STDs.
