The National Women's Health Information Center lists these common causes of urinary tract infections in women: 1  Wiping from back to front after a bowel movement. 2  Having sex. 3  Holding urine for too long.  Being 1  diabetic. Having a kidney stone or other factor that makes it difficult to urinate.  Producing less estrogen, such as after menopause.
