Shockingly but unfortunately, it\u2019s true. The urethra, which is the tube that carries the urine outside, is shorter in women and closer to the anus. This is an area where the common causative organism of urinary tract infection, the bacteria <em>E. coli,<\/em> resides. The urinary tract infection (UTI) is a prevalent infection of the urinary system and typically involves the urethra (infection is called urethritis), urinary bladder (infection is called cystitis) or kidneys (infection is called polynephritis).
