types of tubes to remove urine from the body
A nephrostomy is a tube thatâs used to drain urine from the kidney into a bag outside the body. It helps to relieve a build-up of urine in the kidney, caused by a blockage.
The urethra is the tube through which urine passes from the bladder to the exterior of the body. The female urethra is around 2 inches long and ends inferior to the clitoris and superior to the vaginal opening. In males, the urethra is around 8 to 10 inches long and ends at the tip of the penis.
