Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are commonly seen in clinical practice.
Bacteria from the gut can invade the urinary epithelium to cause
inflammation and infection anywhere along the urinary tract such as
, the urethra, bladder, ureter, or kidney. Some individuals are
predisposed to developing a UTI. It is more common for women to
develop a UTI especially when pregnant, sexually active, during post-
menopause with estrogen-deficiency and when being treated with
antibiotics where the normal bacteria flora is diminished. Although less
common, men may develop a lower UTI. An upper UTI is less common
in men due to the longer urethra and ureter structures that make it

UTI Risk Factors
There are several risk factors that predispose individuals to the
development of a UTI. For women, pregnancy is a risk factor. During
pregnancy, progesterone relaxes smooth muscle that causes stasis of
urine, allowing the bacteria to colonize. Also, the female ureter is
shorter and allows for the entrance of bacteria into the urethra.
Post-menopausal women are also at risk for developing a UTI. The lack
of estrogen results in vaginal and urethral dryness that promotes an
environment for bacteria to grow. Sexual intercourse also contributes
