| While some women may leak urine during sex, it is more likely that what you are observing is not urine. During orgasm, one out of 10 women "ejaculate" — they have an abrupt discharge of fluid. The fluid is very similar to the fluid produced by the prostate gland in men. In women, the fluid is secreted by the Skene's glands located in the vulva near the opening of the urethra. These glands, though much smaller than the male prostate, are similar enough in function that some scientists are considering renaming them "prostate" glands. Other glands may also be involved in female ejaculation.
If the fluid you are releasing smells like urine, though, try making sure your bladder is empty before having sexual intercourse. If you continue to release a fluid that smells like urine, you may have a urinary tract infection or weak pelvic muscles. Both can be reasons for urinary incontinence — unintentional leaking of urine. They can be treated, but need to be evaluated by a gynecologist, urologist, or women's health nurse practitioner.
