Boys and men, or girls and women, can get urinary tract infections (UTIs). Teenage girls and women get more UTIs than boys and men because the urethra tube where urine comes out is very close to the vagina. But little girls can get UTIs too.

The most common cause of UTI in girls is often from wiping back to front after a bowel movement. That brings E Coli from the anal area forward where it begins to grow. Instead, you should always put your hand behind you and wipe from the front to the back. Girls and women can also get UTIs if the body's pH level gets out of whack. Teens and women can also get a UTI from sexual activities.


Whether male or female, no one should cry after urinating. Perhaps you had some burning as you urinated, or bladder spasms. If you have burning, pain, spasms, or see blood in your urine (urine looks pink to red), see a doctor. If you are young, tell your mom so she can take you to the doctor. You will need antibiotics (a pill or capsule) taken several times a day for 10 days. Finish all the antibiotics even if you feel better sooner.
