Detailed explanation-1: -In females, the urethra is short, only 3 to 4 cm (about 1.5 inches) long. The external urethral orifice opens to the outside just anterior to the opening for the vagina. In males, the urethra is much longer, about 20 cm (7 to 8 inches) in length, and transports both urine and semen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Length of Urethra The female urethra is much shorter in length in women than men. The average female urethra is 1-2 inches long compared to the male urethra which is 6 inches long. This is important when it comes to bacteria.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Female Urethra Is Shorter Than the Male Urethra It extends from the bladder neck to the external urethral orifice in the vestibule of the vagina.
Detailed explanation-4: -The membranous urethra is the shortest, middle section of the male urethra. It ends right above the penis. This part of the urethra is surrounded by muscular tissue, so it helps you hold in your urine (pee).
