What causes bladder and kidney infections: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:29, 14 July 2023

Infections of the urine system are caused by germs (bacteria). They get into the body from the outside through the urinary opening near the vagina. Infection is more common in women than in men because a woman’s lower urine tube is short. Germs climb more easily up the short tube into the bladder.
