  • UTIs typically occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and multiply

  • in the bladder.

  • Most commonly, these bacteria come from the digestive tract through fecal matter.

  • UTIs are more common in women because of their anatomy.

  • Specifically, the short distance from the A to the opening of the urethra and bladder

  • makes it easier for the bacteria from the digestive tract to reach the urinary system.
