Urinary Tract Male

In the human male, the urethra is about 8 inches (20 cm) long and opens at the end of the penis. The urethra provides an exit for urine as well as semen during ejaculation. The urethra is divided into four parts in men, named after the location:
1. Pre-prostatic urethra: This is the intramural part of the urethra and varies between 0.5 and 1.5 cm in length depending on the fullness of the bladder.
2. Prostatic urethra: Crosses through the prostate gland. There are several openings: (1) the ejaculatory duct, (2) several prostatic ducts, (3) the prostatic utricle.
3. Membranous urethra: A small (1 or 2 cm) portion passing through the external urethral sphincter. This is the narrowest part of the urethra. It is located in the deep perineal pouch. The bulbourethral glands (Cowper's gland) are found posterior to this region but open in the spongy urethra.

Balanitis

Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans (the rounded head) of the penis. Posthitis is inflammation of the foreskin. The foreskin is the loose skin that covers the head of the penis if the male has not been circumcised. Balanoposthitis is when both the glans and the foreskin are inflamed. Balanitis can also mean inflammation end of the clitoris. This text focuses on balanitis when it affects the glans of the penis.
