Urinary Tract Infections z z
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are commonly seen in clinical practice. Bact

eria from the gut can invade the urinary epithelium to cause inflammatio

n and infection anywhere along the urinary tract such as
z z z z z z z z z
, the urethra, bladder, ureter, or kidney. Some individuals are predisposed
z z z z z z z z z z
to developing a UTI. It is more common for women to develop a UTI especi
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
ally when pregnant, sexually active, during post-
z z z z z z
z menopause with estrogen- z z
deficiency and when being treated with antibiotics where the normal bac

teria flora is diminished. Although less common, men may develop a lowe
z z z z z z z z z z z
r UTI. An upper UTI is less common in men due to the longer urethra and u

reter structures that make it more difficult for bacteria to reach the kidne

UTI Risk Factors z z
There are several risk factors that predispose individuals to the developm
z z z z z z z z z z
ent of a UTI. For women, pregnancy is a risk factor. During pregnancy, prog
z z z z z z z z z z z z z
esterone relaxes smooth muscle that causes stasis of urine, allowing the b
z z z z z z z z z z z
acteria to colonize. Also, the female ureter is shorter and allows for the ent
z z z z z z z z z z z z z
rance of bacteria into the urethra. z z z z z
Post-
menopausal women are also at risk for developing a UTI. The lack of estrog z z z z z z z z z z z z z
en results in vaginal and urethral dryness that promotes an environment f

or bacteria to grow. Sexual intercourse also contributes
