The result of all this is that the lower urinary tract gets an inflammation and infection, which is not a good thing at all! The incidence of urinary tract infections is higher in women than in men and also in elderly people and diabetes patients. Women are more likely to get urinary tract infections because their urethra is shorter and closer to the anus. There are a number of risk factors that increase the chances of getting such a condition as the urinary tract infections. Pregnancy, menopause and kidney stones are among the risk factors with the highest incidence. Sexual intercourse, especially if you have multiple partners or use a diaphragm for birth control is also very dangerous.
