Best Answer

Specifically, bacteria cause urinary tract infections, and UTIs are much more common in women than in men due to the proximity of a woman's urethra to bacteria that cause the urinary tract infection. Any activity that may introduce specific bacteria that cause the UTI infection should be identified. This may include intercourse, or wiping after urinating. There is no identified method to assure one does not acquire the UTI infection. If left untreated, a UTI can progress into a more serious infection that might involve the kidneys.
