Why is the female urethra shorter than male? 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 urinary tract infections (UTIs). In females the urethra is much shorterabout 5 cmand follows an almost straight path that ends in an external opening in the vestibule of the vagina. AB - Prostatic and membranous urethral diameter was measured in 24 normal mature male Beagle dogs during maximum distension retrograde urethrocystography.

The spongy urethra then extends toward the external urethral orifice, which is the area at the tip of the male penis where urine is expelled.
