Question 3

how can children get utis?

Accepted Answer

UTI's in kids: Children do not get urinary tract infections for most of the same reasons that adults do.  First and foremost, anatomical issues such as vesicoureteral reflux, posterior urethral valves and others issues must be investigated.  Otherwise, UTI's in children are often due to poor hygiene/wiping, masturbation, infrequent diaper or pull up changes, or chronic urethral irritation.

Question 4

how do you get a uti?

Accepted Answer

Sex: The most common reason you get bacteria into an otherwise sterile bladder, is thru intercourse. The vaginal canal is full of bacteria, and the pumping action of sex is what can push bacteria up into the bladder, hence the common term "honeymoon cystitis." but, certainly other ways are possible if the bacteria can migrate up the short urethra.

Accepted Answer

Urinary : Urinary tract infections  (UTI) are often caused by bacteria.  A common way that females can get a UTI is if they wipe their bottoms from back to front, as that can spread bacteria.

Question 8

why do i get uti's after sex ?

Accepted Answer

Flush them out!: During sex, there are several exchanges. Skin cells, fluids and bacteria are the most common exchanges. Women are most affected during these exchanges due to our short urethras. The debris can get to the opening of the urethra and travel a short distance to the bladder and wreak havoc! urinate as soon as you can after sex to "flush out" the possible debris.  Drink plenty of water to help you out.

Question 9

can you get a uti from colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Should not: The scope is inserted into your rectum in a colonoscopy and should not in any way cause a uti.  If you were catheterized for any reason during the procedure, than that could be risk factor for getting a uti.

Question 10

recurrent utis/how do i get acidic urine?

Accepted Answer

Cranberries!: First, i would make sure an evaluation as to why you are prone to recurrent utis is done. Your md can evaluate. Next, cranberry juice has been proven to help reduce utis in women. The new research suggests that the beneficial substances in cranberry juice could reach the urinary tract and prevent bacterial adhesion within eight hours.  the chemicals prevent bacteria from "sticking" to the gu tract.
