Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms Cause

Urinary tract infection symptoms are caused by bacterial overgrowth in your urinary tract. This can be anywhere from the urethra (urine exit), the bladder, and ascending higher up to your kidneys. Because the urethra is closer to the bladder and anus in females, urinary tract infection symptoms are a lot more common in women. Often bacteria reach the urinary tract system from the bum after wiping, or from transfer during sex.
