🚺🦠 Ever wondered why UTIs are much more common in women?
The answer lies largely in anatomy.
Women have a much shorter urethra—the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. 📏
🔹 Female urethra: about 3–4 cm
🔹 Male urethra: about 18–20 cm
Because bacteria have a shorter distance to travel, they can reach the bladder more easily and cause infection. 🦠➡️🫧
