Having A Hard Time Believing That Some Women Never Get UTIs

It can be easy to understand why women are more likely than men to get UTIs (because of the shorter distance between the anus and the urethra). But it can be difficult for women with frequent UTIs to understand why some women never seem to get UTIs whereas they get them constantly. Experts say that getting more than three UTIs a year is outside the average range. Genetics may be a reason for this. Research has shown that some people have bladder wall receptors that make it easier for bacteria to stick to them. Although women with these receptors may be one of the more genetically susceptible individuals, they are, as a result, armed with a large body of knowledge that will help them prevent and treat UTIs. Still, women who rarely experience UTIs sure are lucky.
