Detailed explanation-1: -Risk factors for UTI s that are specific to women include: Female anatomy. Women have a shorter urethra than men do. As a result, there’s less distance for bacteria to travel to reach the bladder.
Detailed explanation-2: -Women’s urethras are also shorter than men’s, which makes it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder. Also, women’s hormonal fluctuations across their menstrual cycle can increase their susceptibility to infection. Pregnancy also increases the risk of a UTI.
Detailed explanation-3: -It’s pretty easy to get a urinary tract infection. Bacteria that live in the vagina, genital, and anal areas may enter the urethra, travel to the bladder, and cause an infection. This can happen during sexual activity when bacteria from your partner’s genitals, anus, fingers, or sex toys gets pushed into your urethra.
