"Why this burning: Urinary Tract  Infection  (UTI) in Women"


Do you know that women are at a higher risk of contracting UTI than men due to the shorter distance between the anus and the urethra?

When the infection is limited to the bladder it is called cystitis. Infection that has spread to the kidney(s) is called pyelonephritis or “pyelo” for short. Even though UTIs are frequent, it’s possible to reduce the risk of contracting them.
