A UTI is an infection in the urinary tract. Infections are caused by microbesâorganisms too small to be seen without a microscope. Bacteria are the most common cause of UTIs. Normally, bacteria that enter the urinary tract are quickly removed by the body before they cause symptoms.
The National Women's Health Information Center lists these common causes of urinary tract infections in women: Wiping from back to front after a bowel movement. Having sex. Holding urine for too long. Being diabetic. Having a kidney stone or other factor that makes it difficult to urinate. Producing less estrogen, such as after menopause.
