text: where is the urethra located on a woman?   um, yes, women do have a urethra.  if a woman doesn't have one, there is something major wrong.  urethra: the transport tube leading from the bladder to discharge urine outside the body. in males, the urethra travels through the penis, and carries semen as well as urine. in females, the urethra is shorter than in the male and emerges above the vaginal opening.  edit: about the previous post regarding anti-biotics & yeast infections, you can take pro-biotics while on anti-biotics to prevent that from happening.
