Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In men, the distance between the anus and the urethral opening is much longer compared with that in women. Males also have a longer urethra, which makes it harder for UTI-causing bacteria like Escherichia coli to reach the bladder and kidneys.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, women are more likely to develop UTIs because they have a shorter urethra than men.
