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: -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-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
