A member asked:
Why are some women more suseceptible to uti's (urinary tract infections) than others?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anatomy: The bladder's opening, or urethra, and the vagina are in close proximity. Intercourse may force bacteria into the bladder. However, endometriosis may often feel like recurrent uti's . Check with your physician. True recurrent UTI may be suppressed by longterm low dose antibiotics.
