10 Causes of UTI
Cause #10: Periurogenital Spread
Periurogenital spread refers to one of the most common mechanisms related to UTI apparition. Due to the anatomical proximity between the urogenital apparatus and the anus in females, it is possible for bacteria to reach the urethra, especially E. Coli, causing an infection.
For this reason, it is important for females to have a proper hygiene habit, involving wiping from the front to the back to prevent further translocation of bacteria from the anus into the urethra.
