Urinary Track Infections
Urinary tract infections are more common in women. They usually occur in the bladder or urethra, but more serious infections involve the kidney.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are usually caused by bacteria from poo entering the urinary tract. The bacteria enter through the tube that carries pee out of the body (urethra). Women have a shorter urethra than men. This means bacteria are more likely to reach the bladder or kidneys and cause an infection.
Common symptoms of Urinary Track Infections
pain or a burning sensation when peeing (dysuria), needing to pee more often than usual during the night (nocturia), pee that looks cloudy, dark or has a strong smell, needing to pee suddenly or more urgently than usual, needing to pee more often than usual, blood in your pee
