Bacteria from the digestive tract sometimes stick to the opening of the urethra and multiply. If not treated, this infection can then move into the bladder also causing an infection there. Millions of people develop UTIs every year.
Women are more prone then men to develop UTIs.
Different types of microorganisms such as Chlamydia can also cause UTIs. Medical Network Inc. All rights reserved. No part of the contents of this web site may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, without the written permission of the publisher.
