I am slightly allergic to cats, but no real reaction. September 21, 2009 | medhelp.org. All of the cold symptoms went away, but the mucus in the back of my throat is still there! ...I'm currently taking a nasal steroid and Singulair, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Bacteria(bak-TIHR-ee-uh), a type of germ that gets into your urinary tract, cause a UTI. Wiping from back to front after a bowel movement (BM). Germs can get into your urethra, which has its opening in front of the vagina(vuh-JEYE-nuh). Having sexual intercourse. Germs in the vagina can be pushed into the urethra.
A UTI develops when part of the urinary tract becomes infected, usually by bacteria. Bacteria can enter the urinary tract through the urethra or, more rarely, through the bloodstream. There is usually no obvious reason why the urinary tract gets infected, although some women find they develop a UTI after having sex.
