PATHOLOGY

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: -Bacterial cystitis Bacterial bladder infections may happen in women after sex. Even in those who aren’t sexually active, UTIs can happen because the female genital area often harbors bacteria that can cause cystitis.

Detailed explanation-3: -A woman’s urethra is shorter than a man’s, allowing bacteria better access to the bladder. A woman’s urethral opening is also close to sources of bacteria from the anus and vagina. Sexual activity can move bacteria to the urethral opening.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
