Short channel: There is a short distance between the bladder & outside for females. Tis allows an easier access for germs that would travel up and invade the system. Wearing a wet bathing suit all day increases risk, as does bubble baths, scented toilet tissue, wiping F/B, holding pee too long, etc.
