Bacteria are the most common cause - most frequently Eschericia coli. UTI's in females are generally caused by normal flora from the gastrointestinal tract (due to the close proximity). Other frequently encountered organims include the bacteria Proteus, Staphylococci. Hospital acquired organisms include the bacteria Pseudomonas, Klebsiella and Enterobacter. The yeast Candida may cause a UTI - but rarely. Even less common are parasites and viruses.
In summary: Bacteria are most often involved; E. coli the most common bacteria.
Bacteria can enter the bladder and ureters through the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. This can happen through activities like sexual intercourse or improper hygiene practices that allow bacteria to travel up the urethra and infect the urinary tract.
No, a bladder infection caused by bacteria (such as a urinary tract infection) is different from trichomoniasis, which is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Bladder infections in men are typically caused by bacteria, not parasites like Trichomonas.
This condition is known as a urinary tract infection (UTI). It typically occurs when bacteria enter the urethra and multiply in the bladder. Symptoms may include frequent and painful urination, cloudy or bloody urine, and pelvic pain. Treatment usually involves antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider.
In general, the urine in the urinary bladder is sterile because the bladder and urethra are lined with tissues that help prevent infections. However, bacteria from the outside environment can sometimes contaminate the urine during the collection process.

There may be bacteria in or around the urethra but they normally cannot enter the bladder. A catheter can pick up bacteria from the urethra and allow them into the bladder, causing an infection to start
One has nothing to do with the other. You get a bladder infection from bacteria entering the bladder.

I am not sure Gatorade can be a cause of bladder infections but in my experience it has been a contributing factor to bladder irritation.
Same reason as women - bacteria in the urethra.
You will still need to see a doctor because it could be prostate problems rather than bladder. But drinking cranberry juice will make the urine more acidic, which can decrease the amount of bacteria.
A bladder infection often results due to bacteria present in urine traveling from the bladder through the urethra. The infection often is associated with a urinary tract infection.
A bladder infection is a bacterial disease. Most are caused when bacteria travel up the urethra (backward, or ascending) to the bladder. This is more common in women because of the close proximity of the urethra to the vagina and the growth of bacteria in the closed environment of the vulva.Bladder infections are caused by the bacteria E. coli.
The most common cause of bladder infections is bacteria entering the urinary tract through the urethra.
