UTI in women: UTIs are extremely common in women, and more common as women age; and this particular bacteria is not an unsual cause. If you have recently been hospitalized and especially if you had a bladder cathether, or if previous surgeries involved your bladder or pelvis, these could increase UTI risk. Otherwise, the UTI is probably unrelated to your other health problems.
