A commor problem for women

Urinary tract infections are very commom in adult women and may become recurrent. The most commom is cystitis, an infection of the bladder, but infection may occur in any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys. Infection is caused by the growth of the gut bacteria within the urinary system, but in many cases bacteria are not found on urine culture, despite obvious symptoms of bladder discomfort. The close proximity of the anus and urethra(opening from the bladder) in women allows for the bacterial movement, especially if there is irritation of the delicate perineal tissues.
