Unknown female urethral abnormality??

Posted , 4 users are following.

im in my 20s and have always suspected an abnormality with my urethra but recently this has caused me to worry about whether an intervention is needed. basically my urethra appears to be inside my vagina, low down towards my anus. i have no real issues or symptoms with it, excluding a messy stream when urinating. No incontinence or pain or anything like that. ive tried to research online but have found nothing matching this description which has made me worry more. my main concern is if this is something which could need correcting or affect me in the future-particularly when i start thinking about having children. any ideas/knowledge/ advice of what to do would be appreciated. thanks.

    my best advice is to immediately go to a urologist or a gynecologist to confirm. Have you never been seen before?

      thanks for your reply. I've had a smear test and coil fitting etc in the past but nothing was said. i guess its probably not that obvious unless you're looking for it. should i go through my GP?

      I know for a urologist you would need a referral from your doctor. I'd either start with your doctor or go straight to your gynecologist.

    Are you familiar of 'ermaphrodite'? have you considered this might be the case?
