Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why do women experience cystitis more frequently than men?
A
because of the length of the urethra
B
because they urinate more frequently than males
C
because their bladder is smaller
D
because the uterus takes up space in the pelvis
Explanation: 

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: -Why are women more likely to develop UTIs than men? 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.
