Question

Why urinary tract infections are more common in females than males ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Women tend to get urinary tract infections more often than men because bacteria can reach the bladder more easily in women. The urethra (the opening to your urinary tract) is shorter in women than in men, so bacteria have a shorter distance to travel

Answer 2

Explanation:

hi there,

For some women, urinary tract infections relate to changes in their hormonal levels. Some are more likely to get an infection during certain times in their menstrual cycle, such as just before a period.

During pregnancy the drainage system from the kidney to the bladder widens, so urine does not drain as quickly. This makes it easier to get an infection and sometimes germs can move from the bladder to the kidney, causing a kidney infection.

Urinary tract infections during pregnancy can result in increased blood pressure and a premature birth, so it is very important to have the infections treated promptly. In older women, the tissues of the urethra and bladder become thinner and drier with age, as well as after menopause or a hysterectomy. This can be linked to increased urinary tract infections.
