Main reasons for urinary tract infections
Drinking less water: When you drink less water, the amount of urine decreases and the bacteria that reach the urinary tract cannot be eliminated. This leads to infection.
Poor hygiene: Failure to maintain proper hygiene after defecation can cause bacteria to enter the urinary tract.
Urinary retention: Holding urine for a long time causes bacteria to multiply in the bladder.
Sexual intercourse: Failure to maintain proper hygiene after sexual intercourse increases the risk of infection.
Diabetes: In people with high blood sugar levels, the immune system is weakened and sugar content in the urine helps the growth of bacteria.
Menstrual hygiene: Not changing sanitary pads on time during menstruation and poor hygiene can cause infection.
Urinary tract obstructions: Incomplete drainage of urine due to kidney stones or other obstructions can cause infection.
