Urinary tract is composed of four parts that grasp urine all day long, all your life.

Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra.

Why women are more suffered from UTI?

Women are more prone to UTIs because of the anatomy( women have shorter urethra- which allow bacteria quick access to the bladder)

Is it true that you can get UTI from a public toilet?
