The female urethra begins at the bottom of the bladder, known as the neck. It extends downward, through the muscular area of the pelvic floor. Before reaching the urethral opening, urine passes through the urethral sphincter. This is a muscular structure in the urethra that helps hold urine inside the body until it’s released. The urethra opens into the vestibule, the area between the labia minora. The urethral opening sits just in front of the vaginal opening. The urethra is lined by a layer of cells called the epithelium. Glands within the urethra produce mucus. This mucus helps protect the epithelium against damage from corrosive urine. The female urethra is significantly shorter than the male urethra. This means that females often have a higher risk of developing Urethritis This can cause a range of symptoms, including: • increased urge to urinate • burning sensation while urinating • releasing small amounts of urine at a time • cloudy or foul-smelling urine • • pelvic pain Urethritis sometimes develops in response to a recent urinary procedure or placement of a In other cases, it’s due to an infection. Bacteria can spread from the anus to the urethra, especially if you wipe back to front after going to the bathroom. In addition, • • • If a surgery or catheter placement is causing urethritis, it usually resolves on its own over time. However, urethritis due to an infection requires treatment with antibiotics or antiviral medication. Urethral stricture Sometimes the ure...

Key points • Male and female autism share some similarities, but overall, women with autism tend to present differently than men. • Symptoms that may present differently in women include social difficulties, emotional regulation issues, and the nature of intense interests. • Understanding that autism can manifest differently in women, and seeking an accurate diagnosis, may lead to better quality of life. Source: Dmitry Sedakov/Shutterstock Women with autism tend to present differently than men, a fact which has often led to misdiagnosis and under-diagnosis. As a result, women who have autism and don’t receive a diagnosis tend to judge themselves harshly for finding life difficult; what's more, mental health issues are common in women with autism. Any woman who has reached the point of wondering whether or not she has autism may find it hard to find definitive information, given the fact that autism has predominantly been viewed as a male condition. If she's experiencing many of these symptoms, however, it might point towards a diagnosis of autism. In my 1. Social difficulties. One of the main reasons women begin to wonder whether they have autism is a lifetime of social difficulties. Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disorder, which means that people are born with autism (although it may not be obvious until later in life). Women with autism often find it difficult to read and respond to social cues. Many women navigate this difficulty by creating a social “check...

Diagnosis To diagnose female sexual dysfunction, your doctor may: • Discuss your sexual and medical history. You might be uneasy talking with your doctor about such personal matters, but your sexuality is a key part of your well-being. The more upfront you can be about your sexual history and current problems, the better your chances of finding an effective way to treat them. • Perform a pelvic exam. During the exam, your doctor checks for physical changes that affect your sexual enjoyment, such as thinning of your genital tissues, decreased skin elasticity, scarring or pain. • Order blood tests. Your doctor may recommend blood tests to check for underlying health conditions that might contribute to sexual dysfunction. Treatment Keep in mind that sexual dysfunction is a problem only if it bothers you. If it doesn't bother you, there's no need for treatment. Because female sexual dysfunction has many possible symptoms and causes, treatment varies. It's important for you to communicate your concerns, as well as to understand your body and its normal sexual response. Also, your goals for your sex life are important for choosing a treatment and evaluating whether or not it's working for you. Women with sexual concerns most often benefit from a combined treatment approach that addresses medical as well as relationship and emotional issues. Nonmedical treatment for female sexual dysfunction To treat sexual dysfunction, your doctor might recommend that you start with these strate...

Female anatomy includes the external genitals, or the vulva, and the internal reproductive organs, which include the ovaries and the uterus. One major difference between males and females is their reproductive organs. Males and females have physically different sexual anatomy, but all sex organs come from the same bundle of cells during fetal development. A baby’s biological sex is determined at the moment the father’s sperm meets the mother’s egg. This article will look in detail at the structure and function of the female internal and external organs. Below is a 3D model of female anatomy, which is fully interactive. Explore the model using your mouse pad or touchscreen to understand more about female anatomy. Share on Pinterest Female reproductive organs are very different to those of males. The vulva refers to the external parts of a female’s genitals. It consists of several parts, including the labia majora, the labia minora, and the glans clitoris.

The vulva is the part of your genitals on the outside of your body. It includes your labia, clitoris, vaginal opening, and the opening to the urethra (the hole you pee out of). Many people call this area the “vagina,” but they're really talking about the vulva. Vaginas are actually only one part of the vulva — the vulva has a lot more going on than just the vagina. Everyone's vulva looks a little different, but they’re all made up of the same basic parts. • Labia The labia (lips) are folds of skin around your vaginal opening. The labia majora (outer lips) are usually fleshy and co...
