What Is a Urethral Caruncle?

It is divided into the inner urethra and the outer urethra. The inner urethra is located at the junction of the bladder and the urethra. The position of the outer urethra is different due to gender. Located above the vaginal opening and below the clitoral head. The urethral orifice usually refers to the outer urethral orifice.

( External urethral orifice)

Between the lower edge of the pubic symphysis and the vaginal opening, above the vaginal opening and below the clitoris, is an irregular oval hole, which is a female's urination organ, from which urine flows out. There is a pair of glands in the back wall, called paraurethral glands, which open in the back wall of the urethra, often where the bacteria lurk. Because the urethral opening is short and straight, and is located between the clitoris and the vaginal opening, it is easy to bring bacteria into the urethra during sexual intercourse, causing infection. Below the urethral opening is the vaginal opening.
