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!.

Sexual intercourse is a common cause of urinary tract infections because the female anatomy can make women more prone to urinary tract infections!. During sexual intercourse bacteria in the vaginal area is sometimes massaged into the urethra by the motion of the penis!.

Women who change sexual partners or begin having sexual intercourse more frequently may experience bladder or urinary tract infections more often than women in monogomus relationships!. Although it is rare, some women get a urinary tract infection every time they have sex!.

Another cause of bladder infections or UTI is waiting too long to urinate!. The bladder is a muscle that stretches to hold urine and contracts when the urine is released!. Waiting very long past the time you first feel the need to urinate causes the bladder to stretch beyond its capacity which over time can weaken the bladder muscle!. When the bladder is weakened it may not empty completely and some urine is left in the bladder which may increase the risk of urinary tract infection or bladder infection!.

Other factors may also increase a woman's risk of developing UTI including pregnancy, having urinary tract infections or bladder infections as a child, having past menopause, and diabetes!.


Tips for Preventing Urinary Tract Infections

The most important tip to prevent urinary tract infections, bladder infections, and kidney infections is to practice good personal hygiene!. Always wipe from front to back after a bowel movement or urination, and wash the skin around and between the rectum and vagina daily!. Washing before and after sexual intercourse may also decrease a woman's risk of UTI!.

Drinking plenty of fluids (water) each day will help flush bacterium out of the urinary system and emptying the bladder as soon as the urge to urinate occurs may also help to decrease the risk of bladder infection or UTI!. Some physicians recommend urinating before and after sex as well as a mean of flushing out any bacteria that may enter the urethra during sexual intercourse!.

Vitamin C makes the urine acidic and helps to reduce the number of potentially harmful bacteria in the urinary tract system!.

Wear only panties with a cotton crotch--cotton allows moisture to escape whereas other materials may trap moisture and create a potential breeding ground for bacteria!.

Cranberry juice often helps to reduce frequency of bladder infections!. Cranberry supplements are available over-the-counter and many women find they work amazingly quickly when an UTI has occurred, however, a physician's diagnosis is still necessary even if cranberry juice or herbals reduce pain or symptoms!.

If you experience frequent urinary tract infections changing sexual positions that cause less friction on the urethra may help!. Some physicians prescribe an antibiotic to be taken immediately following sex for women who tend to have frequent UTIs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
