There’s a lot going on in this diagram, but the important thing to note is that the bladder is in front of and slightly below the uterus (the organ where pregnancies develop), right behind the pubic bone. From the bladder, the urethra leads down and outside the body, as we discussed above. Hygiene: A simple and effective method for preventing UTIs is practicing correct hygiene habits. The direction you wipe your vaginal area with toilet paper is of great importance. Be sure to start near the front and wipe toward your anus, every time. This prevents microbes from your rectum getting near your urethra and possibly entering it. Keeping your urinary tract healthy and clean involves maintenance and awareness. It can be as simple as changing up your hygiene habits and managing your diet.

There are certainly times when standing to void would be ideal. Sitting on a filthy public toilet (in a stall without seat covers and not enough toilet paper for wiping and covering the seat) is unappealing at best. Limit intake of beverages and food containing caffeine or alcohol. Caffeine and alcohol act as diuretics, as well as being bladder irritants, so they can increase your urge to urinate. Diet: Drink more water. Staying properly hydrated keeps your urinary system flowing, and you can expel urine more regularly, which helps the urethra self-clean.

Can you penetrate a urethra? It’s very unlikely that you’d penetrate a woman’s urethra by accident because it’s so narrow compared to the vagina. Some people do this deliberately, but it’s very dangerous. In men, Kegels may help with not only urinary incontinence, but also erectile dysfunction. One small study showed that 40 percent of men who had erectile dysfunction for more than six months had their symptoms completely resolve with a combination of pelvic floor physical therapy and at-home Kegel exercises.

Journal of Sexual Medicine, 12(3),661-666 Sitting allows the pelvic floor muscles to relax, which reduces pressure on the urethra (the urine tube that carries pee to the outside world) and allows smooth voiding. The pelvic floor muscles act as a sling that wrap around the urethra, vagina and anus. When the pelvic floor muscles are contracted or stretched tightly (as they are when squatting over a toilet), they compress the urethral opening. This reduces urine flow. When you sit on the toilet, your pelvic floor muscles stay relaxed and the urethral sphincter is left wide open for easy, complete urination. Got it? In a woman, the paraurethral glands are also known as the Skene’s glands. These glands come together in a cluster at the outside opening of a woman’s urethra and produce a clear or whitish fluid. This may also serve to moisten both the urethra and the tissue surrounding the vagina.

Try different positions during sex. That may help you find one that doesn’t place pressure on your bladder.Where do girls pee from? Girls pee from the urethra. The entrance to the urethra is located on the vulva below the clitoris and above the vagina. How do girls pee? Women’s urinary systems are similar to men’s. The kidneys filter blood to make urine, which travels down the ureters to be stored in the bladder. When a woman is ready to pee, her brain causes the muscles of the bladder to squeeze and the urethral sphincter to relax so that pee can flow out of the body through the urethra! And where is a woman’s pee hole? The urethral opening, or meatus, is between a woman’s clitoris and her vaginal opening. Is female ejaculate pee? When women squirt, they release some liquid from the bladder, but it’s not necessarily clear if this is pee or not.

To understand where women pee from, you need to know the basic anatomy of a woman’s vulva area. The vulva refers to all of the external genitalia—the parts you can see. While people often refer to this entire area as the “vagina,” this is not technically correct. The only part that is actually the vagina is the muscular canal that leads up to the cervix and uterus. You can’t really see the vagina of a standing naked woman; you can only see her vulva. Serati, M., Salvatore, S., Uccella, S., Nappi, R.E., & Bolis, P. (2009, January). Female urinary incontinence during intercourse:A review on an understudied problem for women’s sexuality [Abstract]. Journal of Sexual Medicine, 6(1), 40-48.Retrieved from People often think that women pee from the vagina, especially since men pee and ejaculate from the same tube—the urethra. But for women, urinary systems and sexual systems are separate. A woman has a separate “pee hole” from the vagina.But if you can squat, should you? Well, let's say you shouldn't make it a regular practice. For women, sitting is the best way to empty the bladder. The goal each time you urinate is to void as much as possible. Excess urine in the bladder can lead to a urinary tract infection.
