Urinating, by way of the stream force of the urine can clear the urethra of bacteria. This is why females, who have a shorter urethra than males, with more opportunities for bacterial seeding from the exterior, should pass urine before and after sexual intercourse, to flush out the bacteria that may have gained entrance. This should be done especially in those women who have had a past history of frequent urinary tract infections. Stones and crystals may also find their way out in the urine and drinking large quantities of water is helpful. Urinating, by way of the stream force of the urine can clear the urethra of bacteria.

What are the diffence between the male and female urethra?
The female and male urethra function in the same way for urinary elimination. The female urethra is shorter in length than a male's, with the female urethra approximately 1 1/2 inches long and the male urethra approximately 8 inches long. Therefore, females can be more vulnerable to urinary tract and bladder infections since the pathway for germs from outside the body is shorter in females. Both males and females have sphincter muscles at the base of the bladder that control the release of the urine from the bladder to the urethra. In males, the urethra also functions as a tube for the release of semen in ejaculation. Their urethras intersect with the vas deferens, the tube that moves semen from the reproductive organs, at the area of the prostate gland. A valve at the base of the urethra directs the flow of either urine or semen through the urethral tube.
Does urethra have valves?
No the bladder has a sphincter muscle to control flow but past that is clear sailing.
