UTI are the second most common bacterial infections after respiratory tract infections. Up to one half of women will experience at least one urinary tract infection in their lifetime. In men, they are less common, occurring in only about one in five. This is mainly due to the anatomical structure of the urinary tract. In women, compared to men, the urethra is shorter and is located close to the gynaecological tract and also close to the anus. All this facilitates the entry of bacteria into the urinary tract.
