what can cause UTI(hemorrhagic cystitis)?


Question:


Answers:
UTIs are generally caused by a bacteria called E. Coli. Females are more likely to get them than males for several reasons. E. Coli is a bacteria in human feces. The distance between your anus and vagina is a small area. This is why women are told to wipe from front to back and should clean a baby girl that way also. Reason 2, is why you should wash your hands after the restroom. The length of a female urethra is shorter than a man's. Think of the urethra as the drainage hose from the bladder, which is a reservoir. EC is an opportunistic bug. If your immune system is down, your urine pH level has changed, EC will take advantage of that and crawl up your urethra into your bladder and wha-la.UTI. The blood is from inflammation and irritation of the lining of the urinary track from the "bad bug".

Other Answers:
It is usually caused by the bacteria E.Coli (90% of cases) but other bacteria can be also responsible. Take all your antibiotics as prescribed until they are finished.
lack of air circulation (tight clothes) sitting for prolonged periods and holding your urine. it may run in your family if it's recurrent. Synthetic underwear can also encourage bacteria. also if you wipe back to front your introducing bacteria into the urethra. try taking corn silk (supplements) available anywhere vitamins are sold. Also always keep uristat in the house. takes care of the pain until you can get antibiotics from your doctor. Don't panic when it makes you pee orange. hope this helps.
