A member asked:
How does someone develop a urinary tract infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More than one way: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are more common in women and infection often travels up the urethra into the bladder. Infection of the kidney usually occurs from bacteria in blood stream settling in the kidney.
