Why are UTIs more common for women than men?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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'm really worried about my health right now. I have a 23 mm microlith in the upper pole of my kidney with some minimal hydronephrosis. There's this constant, mild pain on my right side, both in the kidney and the tube area. I'm also feeling pretty weak. I just got checked out yesterday, and they mentioned an edematous UV junction in my urinary bladder, plus a cyst and something about my thyroid. Is this something serious? What can I do about it? I'm really hoping to get some advice.
