| | stretching urethra - why does it feel soo good? |
| | What ever it is, most women who are into urethra stretching seem to agree, that they have their best orgasms when stimulating their clitoris and having their urethra stimulated at the same time. | | | A more professional way of stretching urethra would be, by using what the medical doctors use, urethral sounds and dilators. | | | They say that the bladder and urethra are sterile areas and that you should only use sterile equipment and procedures while inserting anything into the urethra. |

| | Low Pressure Urethra |
| | The goal of treatment is to increase pressure around the urethra. | | | Surgery, trauma, and radiation may damage tissue and nerves around the urethra. Lack of estrogen after menopause decreases blood supply to the nerves, muscles, and skin of the urethra, which in turn may create a low pressure urethra. | | | Medications - A few medications may help, but no drug alone can correct a low pressure urethra. Vaginal estrogen cream may renew urethral blood supply, which in turn, may lead to increased pressure around the urethra. |
