Women are more prone to UTIs than men due to their anatomical structure. The infection is more often caused by bacteria but can be a result of fungi. It is often a result of some form of irritation to the urinary tract as a result of sex, as well as the use of a diaphragm, spermicide, lubricant jelly, and condoms. Women may be more likely to have a UTI if they have a weakened immune system. This is why holding on to your bladder, or not drinking enough water, could increase your chances of a UTI, especially if you have had a UTI before. Other factors that can cause a UTI to include: 🔸 Diabetes 🔸 Menopause, as estrogen levels change 🔸 Prolonged immobility 🔸 Prolonged use of urinary catheters 🔸 Urinary structure birth defects 🔸 Urinary tract obstructions or blockages such as kidney stones Being pregnant isn’t a risk factor for UTIs but if you have one while pregnant, the risk of it affecting the kidneys is greater. #UTI #UTIs #UrinaryTractInfection #UrinaryTractInfectionsinWomen #Urologist #UrologyDepartment #maAx #maAxhospital #maAxSuperSpecialityHospital #shivamogga #healthcare #hospitals ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Book your appointments: 081822 69400 Follow us on, Facebook: www.facebook.com/maaxhospitalshivamogga Instagram: www.instagram.com/maax_hospital Twitter: www.twitter.com/maax_hospital
