Urine exits the male body through the urethra, which passes through the penis.
One key difference is the length of the urethra. In males, the urethra is longer as it passes through the penis to dispel urine, while in females, it is shorter and located closer to the vaginal opening. Additionally, the male urethra serves a dual purpose for both urination and ejaculation, while the female urethra is primarily for urination only.
Urethra
The part of the urethra within the urogenital diaphragm is called the membranous urethra. It is a short segment of the urethra that passes through the urogenital diaphragm, which is a sheet of muscle and connective tissue located between the pelvic cavity and perineum.
Dilating the urethra is done when there is a stricture (abnormal narrowing) of the urethra in order to make the urethra wider.

The urinary bladder has a canal-like opening called urethra,through which urine is eliminated from the body.

The common duct for sperm and urine is known as the urethra. In males, the urethra serves a dual purpose: it transports urine from the bladder and sperm from the reproductive system during ejaculation. This shared pathway is facilitated by the male reproductive and urinary systems converging at the prostate gland. The urethra is divided into different segments, with the prostatic urethra, membranous urethra, and spongy (or penile) urethra being key areas.

To compare and contrast the function of the urethra in male and female pigs, it is important to understand that the urethra serves the same purpose in both. The urethra functions to carry urine from the bladder to be expelled by the body. The urethra is also a part of the reproductive organs in male and female pigs.
The purpose of the dignitary gland is to secrete a liquid that lubricates and protects the urethra during ejaculation.

The prostatic or membranous urethra
(TURP) relieves symptoms of BPH by removing the prostate tissue that is blocking the urethra. No incision is needed.
