Why are UTIs more common for women than men?

Women have a shorter urethra than men do. As a result, there's less distance for bacteria to travel to reach the bladder. Using diaphragms for birth control may increase the risk of UTIs. Using spermicidal agents also can increase risk.

I've had a hernia on the left side of my groin for a while, and recently noticed my spermatocele in the upper scrotum has gotten bigger. The hernia has been a bit painful the last few days, and the spermatocele seems to have grown around the same time. Could the hernia be causing the spermatocele to increase in size? If I get hernia surgery, will that help with the spermatocele too? Are there any non-surgical treatments for spermatocele that might help?

Apollo is best for it.
