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.
Risk factors for urinary tract infections. 1. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more common in elderly people because urine tends to sit in the bladder for longer as we age, increasing the likelihood of bacterial contamination. 2. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more common in women than men â around 50 per cent of women will have a UTI in their lifetime. This is because the opening to the urethra is much closer to the anus, which can increase the chance of bacteria entering, particularly if you don't wipe 'front-to-back'.
