A urinary tract infection happens when bacteria (usually E. coli) sneak into the urinary tract, multiplying in the bladder and sometimes spreading upward. Because women’s urethras are shorter, UTIs are much more common in women than in men.
Symptoms usually show up fast—and if you’ve ever had one, you know exactly what we mean. While most UTIs stay in the bladder (cystitis), if left untreated, they can spread to the kidneys and become more serious. That’s why treatment matters.
Not all UTIs are created equal, and several factors can make you more likely to deal with them:
Women naturally have shorter urethras, making it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder.
Intercourse can push bacteria into the urinary tract (yep, that’s why they’re sometimes called “honey
Shifts during menopause or postpartum can affect the urinary tract and make infections more likely.
Wiping back-to-front, harsh soaps, or bubble baths can disrupt balance and invite infection.
Diabetes, kidney stones, or weakened immunity can increase risk.
Some women are prone to multiple infections in a year—often due to underlying factors that need more investigation.
UTIs come with classic symptoms that are hard to ignore, including:
Burning or stinging sensation when you pee.
Strong, persistent urge to urinate—even when little comes out.
Cloudy, bloody, or foul-smelling urine.
Lower abdominal pressure or pain.
Fatigue, irritability, or just feeling “off”.
Fever or back pain (a red flag the infection may have spread).
