Women get UTIs up to 30 times more often than men do, but why? We're Uqora - the UTI experts, and we've got the facts below.
Women get UTIs up to 30 times more often than men do, but why? We're Uqora - the UTI experts, and we've got the facts below.
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.
There are many different causes of UTIs. From anecdotal, clinical, and sample data, sex is the most common UTI trigger. However, it is far from the only cause of infections. Every body is different, and understanding what factors may be the cause is key to getting ahead. Here at Uqora, we are here to help destigmatize UTIs and help guide you every step of your urinary health journey.
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.
As mentioned above, sexual activity is the most commonly reported cause of UTIs. During sexual activity, bacteria, most commonly e. coli, are transferred from the vagina, anus, or sexual partner to the urinary tract. Any form of sexual activity physically moves or transplants bacteria to the urethra, where they can travel up and establish an infection. The longer the time the bacteria have to travel up the urinary tract, the more likely an infection is. This is why peeing after sex is always a good idea. However, this is not always enough to keep bacteria from traveling through the urinary tract.
Sweat and moisture allow bacteria to move around when exercising, which can transfer them to the urethra. If the clothes worn while exercising are not breathable, this typically increases moisture and makes bacterial travel more likely. Exercising and then not showering for an extended period of time will allow bacteria more time to travel before washing.
Our first line of defense against bacteria entering the urinary tract is physically flushing them out via urination. The more time (the longer we hold it) that we allow bacteria to travel up the urinary tract, the higher the risk of UTI. This is also why people with certain professions, like teachers, nurses, and more, who may not be able to use the bathroom as frequently as they’d like, may experience higher rates of UTIs.
Many women report getting UTIs cyclically immediately following their period. Like with sexual activity, the vaginal ecosystem plays an important role. Pathogenic bacteria thrive at a higher vaginal pH and are normally kept in check at a lower pH. Hormones are also changing as estrogen production dips prior to menstruation. This can make the urinary tract more vulnerable temporarily to infection as bacteria travel from the vagina to the urethra. Increased moisture can also play a part, research has shown that more frequent changing of feminine hygiene products during menstruation can decrease the risk of UTIs.
During menopause, estrogen production declines. This leads to big changes in the vaginal microbiome and a decline in lactobacilli (good bacteria). With a decrease of good bacteria, the vaginal microbiome could become dominated by pathogenic bacterial, even E. Coli. These bacteria are then more likely to travel to the urinary tract. While not necessarily a “cause” of UTIs, menopause, like periods, increases the risk of UTIs from all triggers. Menopausal and postmenopausal UTIs are still often triggered by certain activities, like sex and many other activities. With more pathogenic bacteria around, the more likely these triggers are to cause UTIs.
Similar to when not urinating for long periods, taking airplane rides and sitting for a long time at once may increase UTI risk. Travel can also be stressful and tiring, which may also contribute to the association between traveling and UTIs. Typical hygiene routines may also be disrupted when traveling, which could lead to a higher likelihood of bacteria getting into the urinary tract. If you’re camping, for example, you’re likely not able to shower or bathe with the regularity you’re used to.

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 issues, such as yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis.
When bacteria attaches to the wall of the urinary tract it has the ability to produce biofilm. Biofilms are sticky networks of microorganisms that act as a shield for the bacteria, protecting it from your immune system and antibiotics. When bacteria protected by biofilm ends its dormancy, they cause what is called a recurring UTI (rUTI) or a UTI caused by bacteria from the initial infection that was never cleared.
Once you get a UTI, your chances of getting another increase — why?

Except for disputes relating to the infringement of your or our intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, copyright and patents) or where you or we are seeking a preliminary injunction (“Excluded Disputes”), you agree that all disputes between you and us (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to these Terms, your use of the Site, your purchase of any of our products, or any advertisement or promotion, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association's rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes and you hereby expressly waive trial by jury. Neither you nor we will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement.
This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and, where consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, California law. The arbitration will be conducted in San Diego County, California, in English by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s rules. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either we or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. At your election, desktop or telephone arbitration, if available, can be used for claims of less than $10,000. In-person arbitration hearings will be conducted at the time the dispute is submitted to arbitration. If your claim is for less than 5,000 and successful, we will pay the costs of the arbitration (not including your attorneys’ fees. In all other cases, you will pay 50% of the cost of any arbitration and you alone will be responsible for your attorney's fees. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrators will not have authority to award punitive or exemplary damages.
THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS (AS DISTINGUISHED FROM THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES) OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THESE TERMS AND ALL CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE, SHALL NOT APPLY.
You agree that any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of these Terms or the Excluded Disputes will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.
If any provision of these Terms if held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or during an arbitration per the arbitration terms above, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. We reserve the right to change this dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of any or all of your transactions with us.
