ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Women get UTIs more often because a woman’s urethra (the tube from the bladder to where the urine comes out of the body) is shorter than a man’s. This makes it easier for bacteria to get into the bladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -Females tend to develop bacterial cystitis more often than males because of differences in the anatomy of the urinary tract in the male and female. Females have a shorter urethra (tube connecting the bladder to outside the body) than males and so it is easier for bacteria to ascend and enter the bladder in a female.

Detailed explanation-3: -Women may get cystitis more often than men because their anus (back passage) is closer to their urethra, and their urethra is much shorter, which means bacteria may be able to get into the bladder more easily.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most cases of cystitis are caused by a type of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. But other types of bacteria can cause infections, too. Bacterial bladder infections may happen in women after sex.

Detailed explanation-5: -Because a woman’s urethra (the tube from the bladder to the point where urine exits the body) is shorter than a man’s, causing women to be more prone to urinary tract infections and germs invading the bladder.
