- 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).
