UTIs
by Florence Cardinal on April 24, 2007
According to an article in ArcaMax Health and Fitness, most women don't.
Most respondents attributed a UTI to "often waiting too long to urinate," "wiping back to front," "a yeast infection," pregnancy," "an increased amount of sexual intercourse" or "drinking too many alcoholic or caffeinated beverages."
None of the above cause UTIs. Bacteria trapped inside the urinary tract is doing the damage. Women's Health at About.com explains UTIs this way:
The most common cause of UTI are bacteria from the bowel that live on the skin near the rectum or in the vagina which can spread and enter the urinary tract through the urethra. Once these bacteria enter the urethra they travel upwards causing infection in the bladder and sometimes other parts of the urinary tract.
