👉 The term "periurethral" is a medical term that refers to the area of the urethra, which contains the male reproductive system. It's located between the bladder and the prostate gland, and it can be affected by various conditions such as infection or inflammation. The specific function of periurethral tissue in males involves filtering urine from the urethra, preventing it from entering the bladder and causing discomfort or even obstruction during urination.
