Part of it is because they are women. Their urinary tract is shorter than in men, allowing germs a shorter distance to travel to infect the bladder. It can be caused by poor hygiene practices and leaving external infections of the vulva untreated.

For prevention, you would drink plenty of water, drink some cranberry juice, keep yourself clean, and deal with any infections down there as soon as possible. When wiping the anus, try to remember to wipe from the front to the back and not the other way. You do not want to transfer feces to the vagina or urethra.
