Bacteria from the rectum making their way into the bladder via the urethra – the urethra is shorter in women so it is easier for bacteria to reach the bladder and cause infection than in men.
Bacteria can be introduced when the urethra is pushed on during vaginal sex.
Structural issues in the kidneys, bladder or tubes.
Physical irritation of the urethra by chemicals (eg, soaps, perfumes, vaginal hygiene sprays)
Ulcers or inflammation near the urethra.
Sexually transmitted infection (STI) (e.g. chlamydia).
