How do UTIs happen?

Illustration of the female urinary tract: kidneys, ureters and bladder

1. Bacteria enter the urethra, travel up to the bladder, and multiply.

2. This triggers an inflammatory response in your body which results in the symptoms you associate with a UTI.

3. Women are more likely to get a UTI than men because they have shorter urethras, so bacteria doesn't have to travel as far to reach the bladder.

Things that increase the risk of bacteria entering the urinary tract:

  • Sex

  • Exercise

  • Holding it

  • Hormonal Changes

  • Antibiotics

  • Menopause

Once you get a UTI, your chances of getting another increase — why?

    Antibiotics

    When you take antibiotics to treat a UTI, they wipe out the good bacteria along with bad. This puts you at a higher risk for another UTI among other vaginal issues, including yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis.

    Biofilm

    Biofilm is a sticky network of microorganisms that act as a shield for certain bacteria, protecting them from your immune system and antibiotics. When bacteria protected by biofilm end their dormancy, they cause what is called a recurring UTI (rUTI). This is a UTI caused by bacteria from the initial infection that was never cleared.
