Do u have two urethreas? (female)

My wife queried why I had two small pin sized holes between my vagina opening and my clitoris. I explained that was the urethra, she then asked again why I had *two*.
I then remembered doing some self exploring in my teen years and remembered there were in fact two pin sized holes there. I have now checked myself and sure enough, two!
Now I'm super confused, I know one is definitely my urethra... Could I perhaps have dual urtheras? Or is it normal to have 2 holes there?

That said, check out Skene's glands. You might just be seeing that opening. There is a good medical drawing on Wikipedia.

It sounds like you might; it's not usual to have two holes there, though double urethras are not unheard-of in both men and women. Apparently seeing two openings can indicate a complete or incomplete duplication, and it can be a "y" configuration or two separate tubes. One thing to figure out is if pee comes out of both holes, I guess. That would not be hard to check with a mirror. Then decide if it's a problem. (It's kind of hard to see how it would be, if you haven't known about it until now.) You could go see the ob/gyn and ask for a referral to a gynecological urologist if you feel like this is a problem.
