RE: Why does urine infection more common in women?
Hello @hafiz34 just out of interest, do you know if the washing liquid ph has any effect on how often people can get urinary infections? I've heard it has an affect on yeast infections and mildly acidic washing liquid is recommended, around ph of 3.5 - 4.5.
Not sure if it would help in urinary infections though.
There is one risk factor for developing UTI and it is called loss of host defence When pH of the vagina is elevated from acidic(normal) to alkaline status, the good bacteria called lactobacili can't grow resulting in colonisation of bad bacteria and yeast.
One thing we should keep in mind that UTI and vaginal infections are kinda different entity. Vaginal infection can be turned into urinary infection but the most common bacteria causing UTI is known as E. Coli which comes from gastrointestinal tract i.e. from anus to uretha.
