A member asked:
How does e.coli get into my urethra?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
E. coli: This organism may often be present on the perineum by colonization with fecal flora. It may also colonize the vaginal barrel. From the perineum (labia, etc.) to the urethra orifice is easy. Infections occur with physiological obstructions, or in just susceptible women. This does not happen with men.
