There are two openings in the vulva β the vaginal opening and the urethral opening.
The urethral opening is the hole you pee out of.Β It is a tiny hole located just below your clitoris.Β The vaginal opening is right below your urethral opening.
As a woman, during vaginal sex, organisms in your vagina might find thier way deep into your urethra due to two reasons:
1. The thrusting 2. The fact that your urethra is shorter (5cm) than that of men (20cm)
So you are more prone to getting urinary tract infections after sex.
Ladies, if you're planning to get pregnant soon, take folic acid 400 micrograms daily for 2 to 3 months before you conceive and continue until you're at least 12 weeks pregnant. Don't wait till you miss your period.

Folic acid boosts the production of red blood cells in the body to prevent anemia in pregnancy and prepare you for child delivery.
