What is Urinary
Tract Infection?
There are up to 250 million cases of UTI every year, which makes it the most common bacterial infection in the world—especially in females, in whom it accounts for 25% of the total infections.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria enter the urethra through the rectum or skin, thus, infecting the urinary tract. UTI can impact other parts of the urinary tract, such as cystitis (bladder infection).

How to Prevent
UTI
There are several ways to lower the risk of contracting a UTI:
- Drink plenty of water and other liquids. It dilutes the urine and flushes out the bacteria from the tract before an infection can take place.
- Drinking cranberry juice can also help, and there are no side effects to cranberry juice.
- Unlubricated condoms and diaphragms can increase bacterial growth. Switch to another birth control method.
- Urinate after having sex to empty your bladder. It flushes out any bacteria in the urinary tract.
- Don't use irritating feminine products such as powders, deodorants and douches.

FAQS About UTIs in Women
Studies confirm no significant relationship between cancer and urine infections. However, multiple UTIs can affect renal function called "pyelonephritis."
Not drinking enough water can lead to UTI because it affects urine concentration. Another cause of UTI can be constipation. Women can develop vaginal and vulvar mucosa atrophy after menopause. This alters germ levels leading to UTI. Typically, anything that changes vulvovaginal or intestinal flora can lead to UTI.
No. Doctors won't prescribe antibiotics "just in case." Antibiotic prescription requires evaluation, and if a doctor deems it necessary, they'll prescribe antibiotics. If the doctor does prescribe antibiotics, only take the dose and duration recommended by the doctor. If mismanaged, antibiotic-resistant bacteria will develop.
No. There are other conditions that can also have a similar burning sensation. Gynecologic conditions such as bladder stones, vaginal infections, ovarian cysts and genital herpes also have a burning sensation and lower abdomen pain.
Women contract UTI more frequently because their urethra is shorter in size than men's. Men's urethra is about 8 inches, whereas, for women, it's 1.5 inches.
Most women notice improvement within one or two days of taking antibiotics for the infection. However, symptoms may linger for more days. Stick to the indicated antibiotic dose and duration regardless of how quickly you feel better. If you complete the course, it reduces the chance of recurrent infection.
